Everybody’s dying to go on this tour 💀⚰️

Death! The afterlife! What happens when we pass to the other side? Humans have been asking this question for centuries, and artists have been coming up with some pretty interesting ways to answer it. From visions of the great beyond to depictions of the journey from this life to the next, art has a lot to say about what happens when we shuffle off this mortal coil.

Join our resident Express and Explore Tour host, Elizabeth Norman, as she explores artworks that grapple with one of life’s biggest mysteries. Will you leave with all the answers? No, probably not. But you will come away with a fresh perspective on the afterlife and a new appreciation for how artists have imagined what lies beyond.

Join us October 29 at 6 p.m…if you dare. Register on our website: https://bit.ly/4B8TNHI

If you have yet to make a gift, don't worry! There is still time to help our donations grow. Every contribution helps our conservators care for objects across the Walters’ vast collection and preserve them for generations to come.

Support critical art conservation at the Walters Art Museum

For 92 years, the Walters Art Museum's Conservation Lab—the third-oldest such lab in the country—has been a place where knowledgeable conservators and conservation scientists care for a wide range of artworks. They combine expert knowledge of materials and methods with scientific analysis to learn more about the people who created the artwork in their care.

On any given day, this team will prepare artworks for exhibition and loan, assess new acquisitions, study materials and techniques, and seek to prevent future deterioration.

Today, on our fifth annual Day of Giving, we're asking our community to back this essential work and support the restoration of three beautiful 18th-century Sèvres porcelain vases. These delicate objects are beautifully decorated, boast royal connections, and are in need of pressing repair and preservation work.

A gift of just $23 can make a tangible impact in the future of these artworks.

Give now to preserve the art in our collection for future generations!
