The Trustees of Walters Art Gallery Inc., operating as the Walters Art Museum, received a $494,629 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) to develop the exhibition "Ethiopia at the Crossroads." This exhibition will celebrate the artistic traditions of Ethiopia from antiquity to the present, exploring the country's cultural significance and humanistic legacy through new, interactive lenses including community voices. Project activities will include finalizing the exhibition design and installation, coordinating the shipment of loaned artworks from national and international institutions and private collections, and working with a community advisory group to develop related public programs. As a result, museum visitors and program participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complex exchange of visual culture between Ethiopia and the world.
