Heaven and Earth with Catherine

If you think you’ve seen Catherine Chandler geek out talking about Sherlock, you haven’t seen anything yet!
Join your faithful Program Officer on an adventure in art and history at the National Gallery with a personal tour of the special exhibition “Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections.” Icons, textiles, architecture, sculpture, jewelry and reliquaries will come to life as you explore this oft-neglected millenium of Western civilization.
Catherine earned her Master’s in art history at the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU and pursued further graduate work at Bryn Mawr, studying late antique, early Christian, Byzantine and medieval art. This exhibition is the first on Byzantine art ever hosted by the National Gallery and presents a rare opportunity to take in this empire between worlds – classical and medieval, eastern and western.
Saturday, February 22, meet at the Honors Townhouse (714 21st Street) at 1pm before hopping onto Metro to Smithsonian station.
