Art History Professor Allison Morehead traveled to London, UK, in June 2024 to meet with a team from the Munch Museum, Oslo, and architects from Nissen Richards, who have been commissioned to design Professor Morehead's exhibition, Edvard Munch and the Medicalization of Modern Life. The team was keen to study Nissen Richards' various projects in London and to visit institutions that creatively combine displays of art with other objects of visual and material culture. Stops included the newly installed National Portrait Gallery, the British Museum, the Wellcome Collection, the Courtauld Gallery, the Foundling Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Additional photos (taken by Prof. Morehead) can be found in the gallery below.

Prof. Morehead also began her three-year term as Editor-in-Chief of caa.reviews, a digital-born, open access journal founded to serve the disciplines of art, art history, and design. The journal's unique structure - an editorial board as well as a 30-person council of field editors - enables it to support, in a timely and nimble manner, to changes in the artistic, art historical, and design fields. 

Congratulations, Allison!
