Tour: The Evolution of Artistic Mediums
Advertisement
Take a guided walk through art history with docent Maria Kulma, focusing on how materials—from wood panels and tempera to canvas and mixed media—have shaped artistic practice across centuries. This tour offers a deeper look at how evolving tools and techniques influence the stories artists choose to tell, and how mediums themselves carry meaning.

Perfect for those curious about how the "how" of making art helps shape the "what" and "why."

Jacopo del Sallaio, 'The Adoration of the Magi', ca. 1480-1490, tempera on wood panel.

The museum and all its programs are made possible by the generous support of museum members. Members enjoy free daily admission to Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and receive discounts of up to 50% on ticketed events. Join today at thebrooks.org/join
