Curator and scholar Amy J. Hughes, PhD recently visited the CAT to view sculptures by Stanislav Libenský, and Jaroslava Brychtová in the museum’s collection. The CAT holds one of the largest collections of their work with over 100 objects! She is currently working on many projects about the Czech glass artist duo. We learned so much from her expertise. Thank you, Dr. Hughes!
