Medieval Dress-up with Michael Norris on Zoom or simulcast in person

We'll look at medieval clothing styles, from unmentionables to the gaudiest outer layers, to get a sense of everyday fashion for the élite of Europe. Medieval paintings, sculptures, and tapestries will guide our eye, especially examples from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Mike got his BA in classics from the University of California at San Diego and his MA in classics and Ph.D. in art history at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He spent twenty years at the Cloisters Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and has lectured all over the world.  This presenter will NOT be at the library in person.

Registration is required for a Zoom Link.
