Sunday at the Met—September Programs

The Sunday at the Met series in the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium offers lectures, films, panel discussions, literary presentations, and musical performances centered around a special exhibition or art historical theme.

On Sunday, September 14, at 2:00 p.m., join us for a day of events related to the special exhibition "Art of the Royal Court: Treasures in Pietre Dure from the Palaces of Europe". Three lecturers will present in-depth discussions of the most comprehensive exhibition on the tradition of hardstone carving (pietre dure) that developed in Italy in the sixteenth century and subsequently spread throughout Europe. See the calendar for more information about this program.

On Sunday, September 21, in conjunction with the special exhibition "Giorgio Morandi, 1890–1964," three talks explore the works of one of the twentieth century's masters of still-life and landscape painting. See the calendar for more information about this program.
