Digital Holiday Gift Basket

From our [museums] family to yours

Happy holidays from the Cantor and Anderson Collection!

The holidays are here and it’s time to celebrate.

The Cantor and Anderson Collection at Stanford University are excited to share our Digital Holiday Gift Basket. We hope you’ll find it to be a great way to relax and enjoy select virtual tours, engaging lectures and artist talks, fun art-making projects, and many more activities we’ve chosen for you.

We know that there is no substitute to experiencing art in person, and we are eager to welcome you again in the museums. In the meantime, we invite you to watch, explore, listen and read the highlights of what has made it possible for us to stay connected in this “new normal.”

Please share this holiday gift with your friends, on your social media channels, and let us know what your favorite items are.
