Show and Tell: Handling Art at the Wurtele Center
My time with the incredible finds from Dura Europos at the Yale University Art Gallery are some of my fondest memories…
Walking alongside the shelves, one can step from intricate African sculptures to ancient Greek vases to Chinese porcelain to a collection of Picasso ceramics. Opposite the entrance and behind glass display cases are a series of white, metal sliding shelves. They are filled with, among other things, wooden staffs, tea cups and wall fragments excavated from Dura-Europos, Syria.
