Explore the Blanton Museum of Art's collection through poetry in the exhibition "If These Walls Could Speak: The Blanton Poetry Project," which opened April 6. The exhibition showcases more than 40 poems written in response to art featured in the museum's permanent collection. The poems appear on wall labels in the galleries and will remain on view throughout 2008.
