Co-hosted by the Katy Trail chapter of Slow Food, this event features five pieces from the museum’s collection, along with slow food and good conversation. The idea is to allow time to be spent with a single piece rather than rushing through the entire museum. Chosen works showcase the depth and breadth of the museum’s collection this year and include pieces by world-famous artists such as Picasso to a local Missouri artist. The MU Museum of Art and Archaeology is one of 75 museums participating globally. This is the third year of the global event.
