The Mount Holyoke College Art Museum's latest exhibition, "Heads and 
Tails: 
Portraits and Propaganda on Classical Coins," will open this Thursday, 
March 2nd. The Opening will feature a lecture by William E. Metcalf, 
curator of coins and metals and adjunct Professor of Classics at Yale 
University.

This exhibition focuses on the 900+ coins Mount Holyoke College has 
recently acquired. Bettina Bergman's Art 310 class on the historical, 
political, and aesthetic roles of coinage from Classical Greece to the 
fall of the Roman Empire has been responsible for much of the cataloguing 
and preparation for this exhibition. "Heads and Tails" offers a unique 
opportunity for students to engage in primary research using original 
coins.

William E. Metcalf's lecture, this Thursday at 4:30 p.m in Gamble 
Auditorium, and the following reception is free and open to the public.

"Heads and Tails: Portraits and Propaganda on Classical Coins" will be 
open through July 9th, 2006.
