FiresideND, Part 5: Raclin Murphy Museum of Art and the new Arts Gateway

To blend past and present, art and teaching, FiresideND and NDWorks Podcast step inside to see the sights and hear the sounds of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, opened to the public Friday, December 1, 2023.Inside the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, a sprawling space has been crafted to unite classic and contemporary in a dance that engages the senses. From its stunning atrium, rich with natural light, to a chapel bringing a light of its own to this sacred space, the new centerpiece of the University of Notre Dame’s Arts Gateway is poised for a new chapter of engagement with the arts. Director of Internal Communications Jenna Liberto talks with Becherer as the finishing touches are being put on the new museum — a centerpiece of Notre Dame’s Arts Gateway. Joe Becherer, director and curator of sculpture for the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, shares his hopes for these new artistic spaces and why it’s time for Notre Dame’s art collections to shine.Thanks for listening!
