Students in FIT’s Art History and Museum Professions program reflected on the social responsibilities of museums in recognition of Black History Month. The Art History and Museum Professions major prepares students for positions in museums and other art institutions, with a focus on collections management, development, education, public relations, rights and reproductions, visitor services, special events, and exhibitions. By showcasing books related to five temporary exhibitions hosted by five different New York City museums, this exhibition, held at the Gladys Marcus Library’s fourth-floor exhibit case, hopes to highlight the work being done to uplift marginalized communities.  See full exhibition description
