They can strike a pose, or sit and study a catalog displayed on the table in an 18th-century style setting. The virtual exhibit and the symposium Web site were created by Northwestern University graduate student Ming Tiampo and Oren Levin, a technical specialist for the Block Gallery, as part of an Illinois State Board of Education Museums in the Classroom Grant. Other graduate students involved in the project include Sarah Betzer, Nnamdi Elleh, Gina Fearmonti, Dabney Hailey, Stephanie Karamitsos, and Block Gallery graduate fellow Christine Geisler. An opening lecture by curator Rosenthal, and an all-day symposium organized by Rosenthal and Northwestern professor Bernadette Fort, are also planned. The Mary and Leigh Block Gallery is located at 1967 S. Campus Drive, on the Arts Circle of the Northwestern University Evanston campus.
