Caravaggio: A Life on the Edge, public talk with Todd Herman, PhD

Join Todd Herman, PhD—the Mint Museum's President and CEO—for an engaging talk about one of history's most fascinating artists. Herman will explore the dramatic life of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, a painter whose bold, realistic style revolutionized art across Italy and Western Europe. Despite facing constant conflict and hardship throughout his life, Caravaggio left an extraordinary artistic legacy before his death at just 38 years old. The talk itself is free to attend, though viewing the special exhibition requires a $10 admission fee. This is a great opportunity for families interested in art history to hear directly from a museum leader and gain insight into how one artist's turbulent journey shaped Western art.
