Reunions 2025 | Hidden Stories: Preparing a New Art Museum

100 Arthur Lewis Auditorium, Robertson Hall
Friday, May 23, 2025 @ 1:30 pm

Alumni and friends are invited to join Museum Director James Steward and Chris Newth, senior associate director for collections and exhibitions, for a lively and insightful accounting of some of the more complex and challenging moments encountered while preparing the new building for the Princeton University Art Museum. Whether the account be about removing and reinstalling two-thousand-year-old Roman floor mosaics or the riddle of bringing daylight into the new conservation center, come hear some of the hidden stories found within and outside the walls of the landmark new Museum as it readies to open in fall 2025.  

Light refreshments at the Art Museum Reunions Tent to follow.
