Guarding the Art, an exhibition curated entirely by 17 members of the museumâs security team. The exhibition will draw from works of art in the BMAâs collection, with each work selected by one of the participating officers. As guest curators, the officers will be collaborating with leadership and staff across the museum to select and reinterpret works from a variety of eras, genres, cultures, and mediumsâoffering a particularly human-centered lens through which to consider the objects. In addition, the team is working with renowned art historian and curator Dr. Lowery Stokes Sims, who is providing additional mentorship and professional development. Â
