About this event

Encountering the Sacred Image: Highlights from the Icon Museum and Study Center SYMPOSIUM Registration is required and now open. $150 for Museum members and $185 for non-members. Register Encountering the Sacred Image is an international symposium hosted at the Icon Museum and Study Center that brings together leading scholars from around the world to share new research on Greek and Russian icons in the Museum’s collection. Participants will present on a selection of highlights from the Icon Museum’s permanent collection, none of which have been previously published or extensively studied. The conference papers will serve as the core of a new museum catalogue, which will offer a new perspective on the history of Orthodox icons in a manner accessible and engaging for art historians, museumgoers, and icon lovers alike. The symposium will be held in conjunction with a collaborative exhibition, featuring masterpieces from the Ikonen-Museum Recklinghausen. Attendees of the symposium are invited to attend the opening celebration. Visit the Symposium page to view the schedule.
