The Nasher Museum of Art
Eating Animals: a thematic installation of art inspired by the book Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
August 18-October 16, 2011
For the first time, the Nasher Museum is collaborating with Duke Summer Reading and Duke Reads Online Book Club. An installation in the museum’s education gallery presents more than 30 works relating to Jonathan Safran Foer’s book Eating Animals. The installation will challenge visitors--whether carnivores, omnivores, vegetarians or vegans--to think about what eating meat means to them. It includes works in a variety of media spanning more than 2,000 years. Find out more information about DukeReads.
