Throughout history and across cultures, art has played a fundamental role in addressing infectious diseases and their effects on individuals and society. The Museum’s recent exhibition States of Health: Visualizing Illness and Healing examined eighty works of globe-spanning art that collectively illuminate the role art plays in shaping our perceptions and experiences of illness and healing.

Haaga Jr., Class of 1970, Curator of Prints and Drawings; Veronica White, Curator of Academic Programs; and Robbie LeDesma, a Princeton graduate student in Molecular Biology, as they discuss objects in the Museum’s collections related to pandemics, ranging from the ancient Americas to contemporary times.
