All are welcome to visit Let\u2019s Talk: Collection Conversations,<\/em> an exhibition that emerges from a semester-long collaboration between students in Making Museums Matter (ARTH 282) and the Flaten Art Museum. At its core is a deceptively simple question: What happens when a museum is treated as a place for conversations rather than conclusions?<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhibition highlights five new acquisitions that serve as catalysts for inquiry rather than fixed narratives. Building from these works, students developed themes that invite dialogue, contrast, and curiosity. The adjacent\u00a0 \u201cliving room\u201d space offers room for personal reflection. Let\u2019s Talk: Collection Conversations\u00a0<\/em>welcomes visitors into a museum shaped by shared conversations where meaning is sparked by both dialogue and observation.<\/p>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"
