In their last visit to the galleries in 2003, Marc Sijan’s ultra-realistic sculptures made quite an impression. Visitors continue to ask what happened to the affable museum guard that fooled them into thinking he was alive. The tradition of mirroring life through art is a longstanding pursuit. Marc Sijan captures this ambition with exceptional clarity and wit through his figurative portraits.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
