UPCOMING EVENTS @ THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM

Community Collaboration Migrations

WHERE: Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton More than 30 regional nonprofit organizations, including numerous Princeton University departments and programs, will investigate the far-reaching theme of migrations from February through May 2018. From the Princeton University Art Museum to the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, from McCarter Theatre to the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, Womanspace, and the Princeton Public Library, participants will explore the movements of peoples, wildlife, and even ideas both in our own day and throughout history. Learn more at princetonmigrations.org.
