| Themes antithetic to those sung in the choirs were often sculpted into the stalls. This is as true of education themes as it is in general, and nowhere more so than in misericords. |
In this imagery of St. Anne and the Virgin, the roles of mother and "classroom" teacher harmonize. |
Chiron - Centaurus - Sagittarius: the appearance of the first educator celebrated in western civilization has been preserved since classical antiquity. |
Did Jesus of Nazareth go to school? This tour presents school scenes from Jesus' childhood. |

| Orbis Sensualium Pictus, an illustrated school text book, was a model for a number of other school books. |
Throughout the 16th & 17th centuries, Emblem Books were a popular means of education. |
Japanese Iconography links the perception and interpretation of the artist with a description of the society that created a demand for these images. |
Various themes of education are found on the covers of Liberty Magazine, Collier's Magazine, and the Saturday Evening Post. |
This exhibition features selections of verbal representations in Occidental didactic poems and other poetry depicting educational themes. |
