Lorenzo Ghiberti famously earned a commission to create gilded bronze doors for the Florence Baptistery, a project that took 27 years to complete. The fifteenth-century doors became known as the “Gates of Paradise” after Michelangelo referred to them as such. The MOA has acquired plaster casts of the art historical icon, and they will be the focus of this Evening for Educators. Come see how this Renaissance tour de force can be used in your own cross-curricular teaching.

Despite different cultures, politics, and values between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the artworks in In Search of Ourselves highlight shared human experiences. This exhibition examines themes of identity, community, labor, and leisure. These artworks reveal universal human longings, reminding us of what we all share.
