Replicating History: A Tour of the Michael C. Carlos Museum Plaster Cast Collection & In-Situ Sketching

Join the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, Southeast Chapter as we welcome Lane M. Duncan, AIA Senior Lecturer, Georgia Tech School of Architecture for a guided tour of the plaster cast collection on permanent view throughout the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University. The collection contains over 200 pieces that are part of the museum’s collection as well as a renewable loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Learn the history of the collection, and how the collection is currently used for study by artists, architects, and even medical students.

Following the tour, participants will have the opportunity to sketch the casts guided by Lane and other ICAA volunteers. Lane will focus on the principles of watercolor as a design tool but please feel free to bring your favorite sketch book, pencils, and pens.
