Collecting for Kentucky: A Year of New Art at the Speed, 2007-2008

During the past year many exceptional works of art have been given to, or purchased by, the Speed. For the first time the museum will unveil all of these new treasures at once in a single exhibition.

Featured will be works of art that span 600 years of human creativity and represent a diverse array of artistic techniques and styles. From medieval manuscripts and Old Master paintings to Modern European and Contemporary art, the works in this show are enchanting with their technical virtuosity and exceptional beauty. Each of these acquisitions represents an act of generosity on the part of supporters here in Louisville and across the country. Admission is free.
