ancient goddess. An international team of experts, drawn largely from the contributors to
the catalogue of the same title (available in the MFA bookshop and online), will present

philosophy of beauty, and Eros. The symposium is funded by the Estelle Shohet Brettman
Lecture Series supported by the International Catacomb Society. It is free and open to the
public. Free tickets will be available at the Huntington and Fenway entrances on the day
