Prof. Allison Morehead travels to London, begins appointment as open access journal Editor-in-Chief
Art History Professor Allison Morehead traveled to London, UK, in June 2024 to meet with a team from the Munch Museum, Oslo, and architects from Nissen Richards, who have been commissioned to design Professor Morehead's exhibition, Edvard Munch and the Medicalization of Modern Life. The team was keen to study Nissen Richards' various projects in London and to visit institutions that creatively combine displays of art with other objects of visual and material culture.
