Summary This exhibition explores an infrequently treated topic from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: the subject of Time in daily life. A wide range of more than 30 objects are organized according to different conceptions of time: Units of Time, Time and Man, The Celestial Spheres (Heaves and Time), Chronological Time, Cyclical Time, and Telling Time. For example, a medieval calendar from a Parisian Book of Hours with the Labors or the Month and the Signs of the Zodiac illustrates the passage of the months of the year. A manuscript of the Rule of St. Benedict, which regulates the recitation of the Divine Office by monks and nuns eight hours a day, is included, along with a statue of St. Benedict. Chronicles and genealogies show chronological time, while pilgrimage documents suggest the conception of cyclical time, the changes of generations marked by the coming of Christ and the Last Judgment. A bell, a candle, and an image of an astrolabe remind us how different methods of telling time were in the Middle Ages, in an age before clocks and cell phones.

Full descriptions and images are available in an online web catalogue starting February 9.

Summary "Roman to Renaissance: A Private Collection of Rings" is an exhibition devoted to thirty-five rings dating from 300 to 1600 AD. The collection comprises rings from the Merovingian, Byzantine, Medieval and Renaissance periods including marriage rings, seal rings, stirrup rings, tart mould rings, iconographic rings, merchant rings and gemstone rings. The collection was formed over twenty years by Sandra Hindman, owner of the gallery LES ENLUMINURES. Starting with a small French private collection, she has assembled a coherent group that represents the highpoints in the history of the ring from the Late Antique period to the end of the Renaissance, including key examples of museum quality.

Summary “Pen to Press / Paint to Print”: these catchwords draw attention to the co-existence of manuscript and print culture in the age of Gutenberg, the focus of this exhibition and catalogue. It brings together 42 diverse works that include manuscripts with inserted prints, Parisian printed Books of Hours, late Gothic and Renaissance coffrets, early xylographs and illuminations, unpublished woodblocks, and drawings and engravings. Most of the objects treated here are previously unknown, and many interesting interrelationships emerge from the present grouping of material.
