The Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas has reopened with two new exhibitions that address health and the human body, relevant topics amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Curator Cassandra Mesick Braun has been interested in art related to human health for approximately six years. To create these exhibitions, she attended various conferences, researched the museumâs existing art collection, and met with contemporary artists who were also interested in health and the human body.
The KU Spencer Museum of Art reopened to the public in November for the first time since closing in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitors are allowed by reservation only to ensure safety protocols.Â
