EUROPEAN MASTERPIECES FROM THE RAU COLLECTION Lecture Series
The Rau collection of 95 masterworks is considered to be one of the most important private collections in the world. While most collectors specialize in one period or artist or style, the late Dr. Rau’s taste was much broader. Although he did not intend his collection to be a lesson in art history, he chose works of outstanding quality that represent the major artistic movements in European art over 500 years. To showcase the remarkable breadth of this exhibition, The Dayton Art Institute will host a lecture series. Lectures will focus on the art movements and themes represented in the Rau collection.
