2 Adriatic Odyssey: Dubrovnik to Venice Aboard Sea Cloud BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB Dear Members and Friends of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Roman amphitheater in Pula. The Gothic treasures of Trogir. The glittering mosaics of Ravenna. Thanks to the work of conservationists and preservationists, these cultural marvels continue to delight us centuries after their creation. Please join me next summer to discover them, and more, on an art-filled voyage along the Adriatic coast. We board Sea Cloud in Dubrovnik and sail up the Dalmatian coast to the island of Hvar, home to one of the oldest towns in Europe. In Split, we will wander the vast ruins of Diocletian s Palace, where 3,000 people once lived, before visiting UNESCO-listed Trogir, to learn how local conservationists saved its medieval monuments from the ravages of time. We will experience the remarkable amphitheater in Pula, then cross to Italy, my native country, for an inland visit to Urbino. I look forward to our tour of the Palazzo Ducale and its paintings by Paolo Uccello, who in his pioneering use of perspective applied science to art not unlike what my colleagues and I endeavor to do in our work for The Met. We will continue to Ravenna, where we ll bring to bear my expertise in chemistry and mineralogy to enhance our enjoyment of the city s celebrated mosaics. We disembark in Venice, or you may stay for the optional postlude. There is also an optional prelude offered in Dubrovnik. Sea Cloud is a destination unto herself. Watch as her energetic crew scales the masts to set the sails by hand, and relax in the congenial company of alumni of Harvard and Yale Universities. My lectures will complement the historical knowledge of Robert Darnton, the Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor, Emeritus, and University Librarian, Emeritus at Harvard University; and musical lectures by Boris Berman, Professor in the Practice of Piano at Yale University. I hope you will join me to experience this unique intersection of science and art. Sincerely, Marco Leona David H. Koch Scientist in Charge, Department of Conservation and Scientific Research The Metropolitan Museum of Art BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB Traveling with You Marco Leona Marco Leona, David H. Koch Scientist in Charge, studied in Italy, where he obtained a laurea in chimica (MSc, Chemistry) and a PhD in crystallography and mineralogy from the Università degli Studi di Pavia. Prior to joining The Met, he worked at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). He pioneered the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to investigate natural and synthetic dyes in works of art. Outside of his work at the Museum, he teaches analytical chemistry at the Conservation Center of New York University s Institute of Fine Art.
