Exhibition curated by Megan O’Neil revived at Blanton Museum of Art

While a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Assistant Professor Megan O’Neil curated an exhibition called Forces of Nature: Ancient Maya Art from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which then toured to three museums in China. It is now on display at the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin–the university where O’Neil received her M.A. in art history–until January 7, 2024. See here for more information about the exhibition.
