2010 Mend Our Broken Art Exhibition May 20th - August 1st Opening Reception: This year, for the very first time, an entire room will be on display and available for adoption. That’s right: Mrs. Sloane’s (Hermitage Museum founder) dressing room, currently off tour, will be recreated in the changing galleries. Everything from the light fixtures to the plaster molding to the intricate mahogany veneer is up for adoption. As a special added surprise, three fine 1920’s dresses from Mrs. Sloane’s personal collection will be on display. Part of restoring Mrs. Sloane’s dressing room is conserving the paintings formerly stored in her closets. The MOBA exhibition will host a number of works rarely (if ever) seen by the public, including what is considered to be one of the Museum’s finest painting, Cave of the Storm Nymphs by Sir Edward Poynter (pictured above). Paintings by Helen Turner, Peggy Somerville, Stephen Reid, and Douglas Volk will also be featured. In addition to the exhibition, a lecture and several workshops focusing on conservation are being offered.
