“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” —John Dewey
Research Notes
Published quarterly, Research Notes is an online feature that presents some of our most recent discoveries and interpretations about objects in the Barnes collection. Almost every day, our team of scholars, curators, conservators, archivists, and educators uncovers something new—from small details like when a piece entered the collection, to larger discoveries like unknown sketches on the backs of two Cézannes.
Read past entries and our latest note, “Laura Barnes and the Arboretum School.”
Publications on the Collection
The Barnes continues to publish innovative research on our collections. Several recent publications are available for purchase at the Barnes Shop and some out-of-print titles are available for download.
