FYOS Event Summary

1. My FYOS event was called “Tour at Two”, it took place on September 8th, and the link is

https://georgiamuseum.org/event/tour-at-two-09-08-

2. The event was a guided tour of the Georgia Museum of Art that displayed a great variety of

pieces of art. It was led by a woman who worked there, and she described paintings in a way that

people who don’t know a great deal about art can understand. The museum had many different

pieces of art, ranging back hundreds of years and consisting of paintings, sculptures, lights,

chairs, and other masterpieces that I’m not sure how to label.

3. There were about twenty people in our tour. Almost all of them were there from the same class

and they had an assignment to fill out. I think everyone was an undergraduate except two people.

They seemed to be around thirty years old and must have joined the tour because they were

interested.

4. I learned about how much UGA has changed culturally in the last few decades. Our tour guide

showed us a painting of a girl whispering in another girl’s ear with a love letter in her hand. She

explained that the painting had been acquired many years ago and put up in the museum. Many

people interpreted it as a picture of two girls who were in love and became angry that the

museum would display such a thing, and eventually the museum had to take it down. Today,

there is no backlash over the painting and the piece holds a prominent position in the museum.
