Berkshire Museum

Over 500 cities world wide will be participating in this yearly event to start off a new month

The Berkshire-based citizens’ group Save the Art – Save the Museum is staging a protest outside of Sotheby’s auction house in New York City Wednesday from 9 to 10am.

If a recent petition to the Supreme Judicial Court is successful, the museum will be back in the driver's seat, and able to sell art works.

A key deadline is today for the Berkshire Museum art-sale controversy. The Berkshire Eagle reports that a week ago, the Attorney General’s Office faced a judge’s deadline to report on the status of its investigation into a proposed $60 million selling of the museum’s most valuable pieces of art.

A Massachusetts Appeals Court justice gave the state's top prosecutor a bit more leeway, letting it bar the Berkshire Museum art sales through Monday, February 5th.

The Attorney General's Office needs nearly two more months to complete its inquiry into the Berkshire Museum art sale. The Berkshire Eagle reports that finishing up an investigation by January 29th would still be dependent on cooperation from the museum in Pittsfield.

In the wake of James Levine's suspension by the Metropolitan Opera amid a sexual-misconduct scandal, the Berkshire Eagle reports that Boston Symphony Orchestra management has emphasized it knew of no such behavior while Levine was at the helm of the BSO.
