Behind the Scenes Experience: the Vera Bluemner Kouba Collection
May 20 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
In celebration of West Volusia Museum Month, the public is invited to a unique behind-the-scenes experience. View rare items, including family heirlooms, that tell the story of Modernist artist Oscar Bluemner (1867-1938) and his family. And visit museum work spaces as staff catalog and digitize each item.
Please RSVP:
Donated to Stetson University in 1997 by Vera Bluemner Kouba, the artist’s daughter, the collection is composed of over 1,000 works of art and an accompanying assortment of documents, personal items, and books, as well as artwork by artists Bluemner admired. While Bluemner’s own artwork was catalogued in the late 90’s and early 2000s, with an increasing amount available for online view via our museum database, family items are only now being processed. This means there is a lot to learn and many exciting mysteries to unlock, including more information about Vera and her passion for music and the arts.
