The billboard is up! The Hoehn Family Galleries and the British Museum invite you to a rare opportunity to see 41 original drawings and prints belonging to the collection of the British Museum by Italian Renaissance artists, including Michelangelo’s The Three Crosses. It is the first time many of these exquisite works will be seen in Southern California and promises to be one of the most critically valued exhibits in the history of our region. Mark your calendars from September 13 to December 15 at the Hoehn Family Galleries. #usdgalleries #britishmuseum #michelangelo #michelangelobuonarotti

Joyce, our collections manager, pulled out some of her favorite objects for the team: depression-era mosaic necklaces. The design is crafted using stone fragments instead of whole pieces, gypsum in place of white shell, plastic pieces, and lots of ingenuity. Because precious stones and shells weren't easily available during the depression, artists used recycled materials in their place, included toothbrush handles and vinyl records. Pictures here: Keres/Kiwa, depression mosaic necklace, ca. 1930s, gypsum, plastic and turquoise, A2011-17-8 . . . . . #NativeAmericanArt #DepressionEra #TheGreatDepression #ArtHistory #History @usdcas @uofsandiego
