Private Access to The Met: A Behind-the-Scenes Tour of “Africa & Byzantium”

Join us for a private, Fordham-exclusive tour of The Metropolitan Museum of Art with Fabiana Weinberg, FCLC ‘07, senior exhibition designer at The Met, when the museum is closed to the public. The tour will begin with a behind-the-scenes look into the museum’s department of exhibition design, followed by a viewing of “Africa & Byzantium,” an enlightening journey that delves into the artistic and cultural intertwining of two ancient civilizations.

“Africa & Byzantium” is a unique testament to the captivating artistic dialogue that transpired between these two distinct regions. Expertly curated, the exhibition includes precious objects and offers a comprehensive look at the artistic exchange, influence, and transference between Africa and Byzantium from the fourth to 14th centuries. Weinberg will provide guests with an invaluable opportunity to deepen their understanding of the exhibition by delving into the process of its design.
