Evening at the NC Museum of Art

Members of the Master of Science in Analytics (MSA) Class of 2011 took time away from study to enjoy an evening of art appreciation and music at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA). Students were taken on a docent-led tour of the permanent collection. The NCMA recently underwent an ambitious expansion with the construction of a beautiful new wing to house its permanent collection. As part of its the expansion, the Museum has acquired more than one-hundred new works of art, including a gift of thirty sculptures by Auguste Rodin.
