How do we rotate the 350-foot Panorama painting? Very carefully and with many experienced hands! On Monday we turned to the third and final scene that will be conserved this summer. Stop by Sculpture Hall through early August for the opportunity to see the conservation firsthand.

After studying academic painting, French symbolist artist Odilon Redon began making works of imaginary and usually macabre subjects, often suggestive of dreams and hallucinations. See "Andromeda" (1904/10) on view in European Art.

Born #OnThisDay in 1898—René Magritte created "The Tune and Also the Words" in 1964 as a playful elaboration on "The Treachery of Images" (1929). In this picture within a picture, the pipe is lit, smoke lapping over the ornate frame as though into the void. #NowOnView [©ARS]
