A CLOSE LOOK
Known as a fashion icon to European courts, Marie Antoinette was Queen of France from 1774 until the King and Queen's execution by guillotine during the French Revolution. Presented in partnership with Google Arts & Culture, this online exhibit looks closely at NOMA's Portrait of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun.
OBJECT LESSON
In some African societies, the birth and dedication of a child is incomplete without the use of art. Such objects are created to convey parenting as a sense of continuity.
