Free Tour of the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University
April 24th, 2009
9:00 am
 
Please join me for a collections tour of the Carlos Museum in Atlanta on Friday morning, April 24th, at 9:00 am.  Dr. Rebecca Stone, Faculty Curator of the Ancient Americas at the Carlos, will be presenting a selection of the textiles from the Museum's collection as well as some recent textile acquistions.  Ms. Renee Stein, Conservator for the Carlos, will also take us on a tour of the Conservation lab.  There will be time for self-guided tours through the Museum's galleries after our visits with Dr. Stone and Ms. Stein. 
 
Please meet in front of the Carlos at 8:45 am to begin our tour.  The estimated total time of our visit is about 3 hours.  If anyone is interested, we can meet at the SAA conference hotel at 8:15 am and share taxis to the Carlos.  The Carlos is located approximately 5 miles from the conference hotel.
 
If you are interested in the tour or have any questions, please email at capappas@... by April 21st.  There is a tour limit of 20 people.
