This spectacular 2-1/2 hour 28-mile round trip along the Sacramento River through scenic farmlands will also include a luxury box lunch. We will then visit the Heidrick Ag History Center for a docent-led tour of the world’s largest collection of antique agricultural equipment and the Hays Antique Truck Museum. The Museum features 130,000 square feet of interactive, one-of-a-kind exhibits. The $66 cost is allinclusive. Contact the Center to have a registration packet sent to you.

Enrique Chagoya: Borderlandia
February 13, 2008 - May 18, 2008
Cultural collisions and hybrids inform the work of Mexican-born, San Francisco-based artist Enrique Chagoya. Tapping into Mexico’s complex history, international politics world religion, and popular culture, the artist’s lively paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture often intermingle contemporary icons with ancient figures. This comprehensive survey of Chagoya’s work will present more than 60 pieces made from 1983-2007.

Protest in Paris 1968: The Photographs of Serge Hambourg
March 12, 2008 - June 1, 2008
The thirty-five black and white photographs in this exhibition by French Photographer Serge Hambourg
provide a striking eyewitness account of the events of May 1968 in Paris, when student and worker strikes against
the political and social establishment brought the country to a standstill. Hambourg’s photographs depict protestors
marching in the streets of Paris, as well as the reactions of bystanders and opposition members, who were loyal to
the government of President Charles de Gaulle.

Docent-led tours are usually held on Thursdays at 12:15pm and 5:30pm, and Sundays at 2pm. Call the Berkeley Art
Museum for more information: 510.642.0808.
