On this MAGsocial DeTOUR℠, we are teaming back up with our friend, Alex the Archaeologist from the Archaeological Institute of America’s Rochester Society, to dig up the answers to these questions and more. Alex will take us back in time to see how the dead have been preserved, how to differentiate between decayed piece of garbage vs. invaluable ancient artifact, and all the crazy/cool/gross things he’s discovered in the field!

Two hundred years ago, women got the right to vote thanks to the time, energy, and passion of the suffragettes, many of which were artists that we have here at MAG.

We will reveal the secret lives of females from our past, share fun facts about present-day artists, and celebrate all the wonders women have provided the art world and beyond. We hope you’ll leave feeling proud, inspired, and also unashamed of your unshaven legs (that’s the best part about winter #amirite)!
