Rosa Bonheur’s The Horse Fair #shorts

In 19th-century Paris, when the Academy’s rigid hierarchies reigned supreme, Rosa Bonheur was not deterred. ⁣ We’re thrilled to welcome Katy Hessel as a guest host on a new audio guide, “Museums Without Men,” spotlighting just some of the enormous contributions of women artists to art history at The Met—and the challenges they faced along the way.⁣ Listen now: ⁣ Through 10 audio stops, listen to the stories of the Guerrilla Girls, Rosa Bonheur, Mrinalini Mukherjee, Leonora Carrington, Edmonia Lewis, Wangechi Mutu, and more.⁣ - This audio tour is one in a series of tours called “Museums Without Men” produced by Katy Hessel in collaboration with institutions across the globe, such as the Fine Arts Museum San Francisco, the Hepworth Wakefield, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and Tate Britain. The series encourages museum visitors to seek out work by great women and gender non-conforming artists in these institutions who, simply by virtue of their gender, were often overlooked and underrepresented. “Museums Without Men” at The Met with Katy Hessel is produced by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in collaboration with Katy Hessel.
