What's Happening

This spooky season, the Memorial Art Gallery invites you to think about the one thing we all share: our mortality. Fashion historian Brandon W. Brooks leads this MAGsocial DeTOUR through the gallery, exploring how art and fashion across centuries have grappled with aging and death — and asking what modern medicine, filters, and surgical interventions have cost us in the process. It is the kind of conversation that leaves you seeing the galleries differently.
