Avg. Event Rating (3.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

The Cantor Art Center’s collection of Rodin bronzes is the largest in the world outside Paris, second only to the Musee Rodin. More than fifty works by Rodin are on view inside the Center, mostly cast bronze, but also works in wax, plaster, and terra cotta. Twenty bronzes, including The Gates of Hell, on which Rodin worked for two decades to complete, are outside in the Sculpture Garden. The Burghers of Calais are nearby on campus. The garden is open 24 hours a day, is lit at night for nightime viewings, and is adjacent to the Cantor Arts Center. Free public tours are available on Wednesdays at 2 pm, Saturdays at 11:30 am, and Sundays at 3 pm, rain or shine. Meet in the main lobby.

    This exhibit does an excellent job in delving into many facets of these nomadic people's lives. The intricate jewelry is a highlight, but so are the leather tents, video clips of traditional ceremonies, and leather creations. It's a treat to see Tuareg visitors sitting in the exhibit doing traditional leather and silver work. Too bad they can't be there all the time. Collapse

    Even though they were taken decades ago, these images of urban poverty serve as a sad education for those of us in the privileged 'burbs. Parks had an incredible eye, searing and compassionate at the same time. It's interesting to note that he was also the filmmaker who made "Shaft." Collapse

    I prefer modern art and there was little of this to be found in this exhibition ('though the photos were pretty interesting). It was OK.

    The Cantor museum is a wonderful asset to the community and always worth a visit. The trouble with American ABC Childhood in 19th century America exhibition is that it contains a hideous collection of tasteless, (sexist and racist as well),kitch, housed in a kind of "ethan allen" furniture store environment. Thank god I wasnt a child in 19th Century America. The good news is you can go upstairs in the gallery and look at some very powerful work by Munch and a fascinating (but small) collection of symbolistic works!! Go for it. Collapse

    This is a lovely exhibit, free admission too, easy parking, kewl cafe. The Cantor created architectural gallery rooms within the main gallery to exhibit paintings of children (not BY children) in the 19th Century. You'll see several Winslow Homer oils up close and personal. Each small room has a theme to honor different "classes" of children: Girls, raggamuffins, blacks, Native American, boys, country kids. At the far end is a school room with typical maps, readers, toys, benches, dunce corner, etc. My elderly mom loved it, especially since the paintings are hung low enough for kids and the wheelchair bound. Doesn't hurt that there's a neat cafe at the museum...and don't forget that huge collection of Rodin statues (both inside and out.) We'll probably go again! Collapse
