Sit and Learn Series at the LSU Museum of Art

What, after all, is a chair? A place at the family table, a worksite, a plush refuge as evening descends, a symbol of power. In the LSU Museum of Art's newest exhibition, The Art of Seating: Two Hundred Years of American Design, the seat becomes the centerpiece. In a series of programming exploring the themes in this exhibit, contemporary chair designers, local chair collectors, and scholars come together for a series of lectures and discussions. Stay tuned for interactive chair challenges and activities in the coming weeks.
