A Closer Look: Collecting European Paintings for San Francisco

Join us for the first in our new lecture series, as curator Emily A. Beeny invites you to take “A Closer Look” at our European paintings collection. This talk explores the history of the collection through artwork highlights and the colorful characters - collectors, directors, and curators - who brought them to San Francisco.
