Event Description: Learn about the Godwin-Ternbach Museum collection in the Flushing campus of Queens College, City University of New York. In this virtual tour, we discuss the history of the museum, its mission, and its collection. Established in 1957, the Godwin-Ternbach Museum (GTM) is the only museum in the CUNY system with an extensive encyclopedic art collection of 7,000 objects. A part of the Kupferberg Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, GTM activates its collection with a teaching mission—using its objects in exhibits, public school and college classrooms, student/professor research, tours, etc. Highlighting the wide ranging collection, in the virtual tour we will showcase a 14th Century French stained glass window from the Dormition of the Virgin in Troyes, a woodcut print by Susumu Yamaguchi, a sculpture of a “Wedding Cake” by Pat Lasch, a milagros-inspired piece by Claudia DeMonte, and a painting by Roger Shimomura. Learn about GTM—a small institution with a rich collection of prints, paintings, sculptures, photographs, artist books, and so much more in the heart of the CUNY system in Queens, New York City.
