Nobody knows SBMA's collections better than the staff who care for, protect, and teach about them, and soon visitors to SBMA will be able to see a selection of works chosen by staff members across SBMA's departments. A Few of Our Favorite Things will feature paintings, photographs, prints, and sculptures chosen not just by curators, but also by educators, security guards, visitor services staff, and facilities and installation workers. Accompanying label texts written by staff will highlight what each finds interesting about their chosen artwork—and keep an eye out throughout the Museum for works in other galleries that staff also love.
This exhibition is made possible through the generosity of the SBMA Ambassadors.
