Nassau County Museum of Art Presents Brueghel
Nassau County Museum of Art unveils a never-before-seen small exhibition of paintings by Pieter Brueghel the Younger. The famed painting, Netherlandish Proverbs, is included in this first viewing on the East Coast.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Belgian Tourist Office — Flanders Region and David Lerner Associates; it is supported in part by Astoria Federal Savings.
In conjunction with this exhibition, on Saturday, September 29, NCMA is presenting Sixteenth- and Seventeenth Century Flemish Culture, the first in a series of Humanities Symposia devoted to themes that arise in coming exhibitions at the museum.
