Project Redefine

The Spencer's Project Redefine is a bold experiment that endeavors to expand understanding and appreciation of the museum’s diverse permanent collection through new, broadly conceived thematic installations. Our present galleries, formulated in 1978, focus primarily on Euro-American painting and sculpture and are divided according to a progression of time periods: Antiquity, Medieval, Renaissance, and 17th through 19th centuries, with a separate gallery devoted to Asian Art. Project Redefine is changing the frameworks through which the permanent collection is viewed by creating new thematic installations. Through this re-installation effort, Project Redefine will showcase the artistic excellence of the Spencer’s collection, and incorporate a range of interpretations, experiences, and approaches to history, world culture, and art across time and space.
