Spotlight Talks: The Art of Accessories | Portrait of the Duke of Medinaceli
According to an old adage, before you leave the house you should look in the mirror and remove one accessory. This spring, Spotlight Talks will focus on the accessories that made the cut and what they convey about their wearers. Join a docent for a 20-minute talk exploring these accoutrements and the tales they tell. Each program will take place in the museum’s galleries at the featured work of art, which this month is [attributed to] José Casado del Alisal’s Portrait of a the Duke of Medinaceli (after 1864). Advance registration is not required.
The program is free with regular museum admission: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors 65 and over, $4 for non-SMU students, free for members, free for youth under 18*
*Free museum admission for youth 18 and under is made possible by a grant from Fichtenbaum Charitable Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee.
