Michelangelo sculpted his famous David statue from a marble block that had been previously worked on and then abandoned by two different artists, Agostino di Duccio and Antonio Rossellino. Both artists had begun working before deciding that the stone had too many imperfections. The marble block then sat untouched for roughly 40 years before Michelangelo began working with it, and when he began Michelangelo had to sculpt around or reshape some of the work performed by the previous artists. The end result of his efforts was the 17-foot-tall, 5.5 ton David, which is still on display in Florence, Italy. Picasso could draw before he could walk. Picasso

We at the MOA are so excited for all of the wonderful exhibitions coming to the MOA in 2017! More information will be provided about these exhibitions in the coming months. We're excited to see you at the MOA this year!

Pantone just released their always-anticipated Color of the Year. As a calming and fresh respite from the hues of years' past, the color for 2017 is Greenery. Naturally, we looked in our collection to see what we could find that matches this on-trend tone.

To better accommodate Family Home Evening groups, the MOA will now be open on Monday evenings until 9 PM. The MOA will now close on Wednesday evenings at 6 PM.
