Featured in Preview

Preview is the magazine published for members of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Along with articles about current and upcoming exhibitions and events and informative commentaries about the collections, each issue features selected merchandise available in the shops and online store that may be of interest to members.

The Shops section of the January/February issue of Preview features the Aphrodite and the Gods of Love MFA publication.

Through 158 marble sculptures, painted vases, statuettes of terracotta and precious metal, mosaics, and gems, the exhibition catalogue for "Aphrodite and the Gods of Love" traces the early worship of the deity as a fertility figure in the Near East, her emergence as love goddess for the Greeks, and her eventual adaptation by Rome as Venus.
