This class will explore what happened when the treasures buried for centuries were suddenly unearthed, the industry of art thieves that sprung up around it, and how the discovery of Pompeii affected the British colonies in America.
This class will be held virtually via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent in a reminder email the day before the class takes place. Please email learn@okcmoa.com with questions.
