Our latest exhibit features science illustrations from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, when scientific study was becoming more encouraged than ever before. Come and see engraved images of scientific techniques used to harness and use natural phenomena. Hand-colored representations of flowers and insects bring these wonders of nature to life. Some of the illustrations are lifelike, some imaginative, and some endearingly whimsical, depicting the fun side of science. From an earth science book imagining life on the moon to the loveliness of nature, there is something fascinating about every aspect of this special collection.

Our annual exhibition is selected by a guest juror from national and international submissions. The exhibition highlights contemporary art practices in all media. Additionally, the September Competition connects the museum with artists who excel in their field and media.

Opening Reception for Members - Friday, July 11/25 at 6:00PM.

Hours: Tuesday-Friday, 10:00-5:00 PM (Museum closed Sunday & Monday)
