Join Mellon Foundation Curatorial Fellow Brian Piper for a tour of the exhibition East of the Mississippi: Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography. The photographs represent the first exhibition solely devoted to nineteenth-century photograph in the eastern half of the United States. Noontime Talks are brief, casual discussions on exhibitions or works of art in the galleries given by NOMA curators and special guests. For more information, call (504) 658.4100.
