The symposium - free and open to the public - will be held in the museum&rsquo;s King Sculpture Court, and will last from 11am to 6:30pm on April 25, and from 9am to 5pm on April 26.Presenters include Oberlin College faculty members from the Art, English, History and Musicology departments, three Oberlin College students who were selected via a competitive process, faculty from Case Western Reserve University, Washington &amp;amp; Lee University, Miami University of Ohio, and Ohio State University, along with staff from the AMAM, the YUAG, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Intermuseum Conservation Association. These two days promise to be exciting ones, and the public is warmly urged to attend. Presentations w
