Sky and Sea: Understanding Climate Resilience and Innovation through Dutch Art

Art from the past—showing the ingenuity of people from across time and place—can propel conversations and inspire creative thinking, including about our changing environment. Pairing an air historian and expert in hydraulic engineering, we look together at the role of water in our world and the centrality of the Netherlands and Boston in helping us think through the importance of sky and sea to our world in the past, present, and our future.

This virtual event, hosted by the MFA’s Center for Netherlandish Art, was held on March 24, 2021.
