Takeout Tuesdays: Lunchtime Conversations About Art
Online via Zoom
The Avatars of Vishnu
When the world is in trouble, the great Hindu deity Vishnu assumes various forms to reestablish order. Join docent Mary Mead to explore artworks that demonstrate Vishnu’s power to rescue Mother Earth, conquer demons, and protect natural resources from pollution.
ABOUT TAKEOUT TUESDAYS
“Take out” a taste of art! Join museum docents and fellow art lovers for interactive lunchtime encounters with selected artworks from the collection. We’ll gather on Zoom to look closely at compelling works using high-resolution images and uncover fun facts. Each weekly session explores a different topic. Unmute to join the conversation.
