Art History 101: How to Sound Smart at the Museum (online, tuition-free)
Adult Online TuitionFree | Registration opens Tuesday, October 27, 2026 8:00 AM EDT
Intimidated by the renaissance? Afraid of minimalism? In this light hearted introduction to western art history, we'll build comfort with looking at and talking about art. Spanning the ancient world to contemporary works, this class will lay out a narrative of how we got where we are. You'll leave with a better understanding of all that stuff on the walls, several games to enliven to your next museum trip, and stories to impress your gallery companions.
This is an online class hosted through Zoom. We recommend that you download the free Zoom application on your computer, phone, or tablet in advance of the first class. You will receive a confirmation email containing a link to join the course via Zoom. The same link will be used each week.
Tuition-free classes require an active Fleisher membership.
