What comes to mind when we’re confronted with the color red? For thousands of years this color has had different meanings to different people as a symbol of love, marriage, fidelity and danger, just to name a few. This exhibition will allow students to develop their own associations with the color through an assortment of works from the Museum’s permanent collection.
