Athena Asks

Fitzwilliam Museum, Colnaghi Foundation and Athena Art Foundation

16 Episodes

Athena Asks is a new podcast series from the Athena Art Foundation featuring artists, art historians and collectors talking about great art works from across the centuries and the collections which host them. We passionately believe that looking closely at this art helps us to reflect on life today and to imagine the world tomorrow.What are museums for? Whose stories do they tell? How do they decide which aspects of the past to preserve and represent? Join Luke Syson, Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and Nicola Jennings, Director of the Athena Art Foundation, over the next few months for six conversations with curators, museum directors, activists and writers about the role of the museum in the 21st century.
