CONNECTICUT---The galleries of the Bruce Museum will be bursting with pride this summer and into fall: "The Seven Deadly Sins: Pride" opened on June 27, part of a groundbreaking series of area exhibitions exploring the Seven Deadly Sins. Presented by seven members of the Fairfield/Westchester Museum Alliance, the Seven Deadly Sins exhibitions represent the FWMA's first ever collaborative effort. "The Seven Deadly Sins have played a significant role in theology, literature and art since the Middle Ages," says Susan Ball, Deputy Director of the Bruce Museum and a curator of the exhibition.
