Member Lecture and Book Club events are available exclusively to Museum Members. Join today!
Step into the world of Michelangelo Buonarroti with Clare Kobasa, associate curator of prints, drawings, and photographs.
Fueled by The Agony and the Ecstasy—Irving Stone’s epic tale of obsession and genius—this lecture explores the fierce ambition, spiritual torment, and artistic brilliance that defined Michelangelo’s life. Moving beyond fiction, Kobasa explores the complexities of his work and legacy, unpacking the myth and the man, the fire that drove his genius, and the world that shaped it.
