It is often said that people in medieval works of art look a little off. There are a lot of images of people dying in gruesome and gory ways, freaky creatures and cats, and an assortment of dismembered body parts.
On this MAGsocial DeTOUR℠, we are teaming up with Anna Siebach-Larsen, Ph.D, from Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation at the University of Rochester, as she answers all of our burning questions re: people being on fire, skeletons dancing their limbs off, spooky snakes, swords and more.
Join us as we wander around the museum and learn about the past!
