FRIDAY 10

Exhibition The Moon and The Stars: Afterlife of a Roman Empress. A portrait head of Faustina the Elder, wife of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, is the focus of this exhibition.

The show explores these commemorations and the theme of Aeternitas that was associated with Faustina, examining her image and those of other powerful women from antiquity to the present day. Continues through December 19. *MHC Art Museum, Tuesday&endash;Friday, 11 am&endash;5 pm; Saturday-Sunday, 1&endash;5 pm.
