Learn to Look Gallery

Art Appreciation is the focus of this gallery.  Quarterly displays, which feature two works of art from the permanent collection, help Figge visitors build art vocabulary and encourage them to look closely at works of art.  Installations are designed for adults, but the content also would be appropriate for grades 6 and up.
