Dallas Museum of Art - Future Exhibitions

This looks really cool. I might have to check it out. It will be at the Dallas Museum of Art Oct 3, 2010 through Jan 2, 2011. More information can be found here.


The Mourners: Medieval Tomb Sculptures from the Court of Burgundy will feature forty sculptures from the tomb of John the Fearless (1371–1419), the second duke of Burgundy. His elaborate tomb is among the most important—and moving—examples of Burgundian art. Once housed at the Chartreuse de Champmol, a monastery on the outskirts of Dijon, this monument is now one of the centerpieces of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, and the mourning figures from the tomb are being offered for this exceptional loan during renovations of the gallery where the tomb is displayed.
