In 2019, the Michael C. Carlos Museum will mark its centennial—help us kick off the celebration in style!
The conservation plan for a large object like this traditional mask is projected to take more than 50 hours of work by Patricia Ewer, our contract textile conservator.
Special exhibitions like DO or DIE: Affect, Ritual, and Resistance provide special highlights on topics that you might not see in the permanent galleries. This exhibition will kick off our 100th anniversary!
As you step into the galleries, you’ll be surrounded on all sides (360 degrees) by remarkable works by Fahamu Pecou, placed in context with historical objects from the Yoruba tradition, including the Egungun we’re conserving here.
More than 70,000 people visit the Michael C. Carlos Museum every year, including more than 20,000 schoolchildren.
The Michael C. Carlos Museum, then the Emory Museum of Art and Archaeology, was formally chartered on the Atlanta campus in 1919.
