Salisbury Society Sneak previews – special access
As a benefit of membership, Salisbury Society Members enjoy sneak previews of exhibitions and special access to gifts of art and new acquisitions of art throughout the year. in August, Salisbury Members were treated to a first viewing of Venus Disarming Cupid by paolo Veronese only hours after it arrived in the Museum before it was even framed. The Society then had a sneak preview of the [remastered] galleries on September 19th where they were able to view the reinstalled galleries, including the Veronese painting, a gift from collector Hester diamond of New York made in honor of her stepdaughter, rachel Kaminsky, a board member of the Museum.
on october 25th at the panel Symposium on the Orantes: Ancient Statues from South Italy, in the new Jeppson idea Lab, international and renowned experts in conservation and the ancient study of tombs presented their studies and findings to the Society. Salisbury Members heard the fascinating behindthe-scenes stories of the conservation and circuitous acquisition process of the orantes on view – a truly unique experience!
