Event Description: 

This one-day graduate student symposium focuses on museum architecture and explores where it has been and where it is going. It seeks to inspire fresh thinking about the relationship
between works of art and the buildings that contain them, by addressing the ways in which
architecture can enhance, limit, and transform our encounters with art. The symposium concludes with a keynote lecture by George Knight, founder of Knight Architecture and principal-in-charge of the Center’s conservation projects.
The symposium is free and open to the public. Advance registration is recommended. For full
details of the program and to register, visit britishart.yale.edu/conferences. Online
registration is available from September 8 through October 6. Onsite registration will be
available on the day of the symposium.
