Landscapes of the Clark with Director Olivier Meslay

Advance tickets are no longer available online or by phone, but can be purchased at the door the day of the event.

Olivier Meslay, the new Felda and Dena Hardymon Director of the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, will take us on a visual tour of the Clark’s sweeping collection of landscapes, from Turner to Monet.

An accomplished museum professional and noted scholar, Meslay brings more than thirty-five years of international experience to his role, including curatorial and leadership positions at the Dallas Museum of Art and the Musée du Louvre. In 2009, the French government honored Meslay as a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres in recognition of his contributions to furthering French arts and culture throughout the world.

Meslay joined the Clark in August 2016 and leads a staff of nearly one hundred employees. The Clark is one of only a few institutions globally with a dual mission as an art museum and a distinguished center for research and higher education, dedicated to advancing and extending the public understanding of art.
