Yale Harvard Night at the San Diego Museum of Art 2010
San Diego’s Yale and Harvard alumni clubs arranged another extraordinary evening for art lovers at the San Diego Museum of Art. Following an hors d’oeuvres reception, the Museum’s two top curators, both Yale graduates, took us on an exclusive after-hours tour of the museum’s most recent visiting exhibit: Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris. Artist, aristocrat, and colorful chronicler of the Belle Époque, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was one of the greatest artists of the late nineteenth century. For the first time in 20 years, more than 100 works by Toulouse-Lautrec have been shown together at The San Diego Museum of Art.
Attendance at this exciting event was limited to the first 100 people who signed up, and it was sold out once again. Given the strong response, we plan to offer another museum event next year!
