Announcing our second Henry Meloy Curatorial Intern. Tsea Francisconi is a graduate student in art history at the University of Montana. Her academic interests lie in history, anthropology, and art philosophy and her research centers on anti-witchcraft propaganda in printed media from 1487 to 1684, a period of hysteria surrounding witches in Europe. Welcome Tsea!

"Does an art museum teach us about the exhibits, or does it make us feel like we want to be a part of it? The Montana Museum of Art and Culture doesn’t just teach you about exhibits like any other museum would, this museum makes you feel like you are a part of it…"
