From exhibiting a urinal as art to drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa, Marcel Duchamp's work has always explored the question, "What is art?" Through this exhibition, a major retrospective of his career and experimentation, students can learn about creativity, iterating ideas, and finding the beauty in mistakes. After an introduction, you'll have a chance to explore the exhibition and test out classroom activities.
