All Day

Next time you're on the University of Rochester campus, stop by to see this lively exhibit that traces the Memorial Art Gallery's strong ties to the University and the community during its first hundred years. The works on view--from the MAG Archives and Rush Rhees Library's Department of Rare Books and Special Collections--include photos of notable people and events, architectural renderings and original documents. Among the personalities you'll meet are Gallery founder Emily Sibley Watson; members of MAG's "first family," the Herdles; University President and founding MAG Board President Rush Rhees; and other UR faculty, staff and community members who made important contributions to the history of the Gallery.
