In 1955, the Busch-Reisinger Museum was the first museum in the United States to hold an exhibition dedicated to the Munich-based expressionist group The Blue Rider (1911–14). Recently, the Busch-Reisinger Museum received a monumental gift of artworks by Albert Bloch, the only American artist to exhibit with The Blue Rider. Learn about this influential group of modern artists on a walkthrough of the galleries with former curatorial fellow Peter Murphy, who will discuss works by Franz Marc, Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, Alexei von Jawlensky, and more. - **How to join:** Check in at the Visitor Services desk; space is limited. - **Fee:** This is a free event. - **Accessibility accommodations:** Email [am\_register@harvard.edu](mailto:am_register@harvard.edu) at least 48 hours in advance, including the name and date of the program in the subject line. - **General info:** The [museum visit page](https://harvardartmuseums.org/visit) has general guidelines for your visit.
