Art and artifacts that feature food in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art span millenniums, from ancient Egypt to Pop Art. Narrow the search to a single foodstuff, cheese, and there is still plenty to savor, as Laura Corey, a senior researcher in the director’s office, will show in a virtual class later this month. Also on the panel will be Zoe Brickley, the creative director of Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont. And so the class is not merely digital, participants have the option to receive a selection of seven Jasper Hill cheeses from Jasper Hill to sample during the class. The deadline for ordering cheeses is Aug. 23; the class will be recorded for those who register but can’t watch it live.
“An Evening with the Met and Jasper Hill Farm,” 6 p.m., Aug. 26, $125 with cheese samples, $20 without, jasperhillfarm.com/products/themet.
