We will also be joined by the collectors Dr. Jonathan Meakins and Dr. Jacqueline McClaran for this program. This tour will feature information about the artwork on display and give you a behind-the-scenes perspective on this exhibition from both a collector’s and a curator’s viewpoint. This moving tour will take place inside the exhibition and is included in the cost of admission, and is free for students, youth, and AGA members. Due to space limitation registration is encouraged.
About the Exhibition: The Collectors’ Cosmos: The Meakins–McClaran Print Collection provides a glimpse into the making of what became one of the foremost private collections of European prints in Canada. Built over the course of four decades, the core of this collection comprises a wealth of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish prints.
