About This Event

The opening reception takes place on February 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. with sparkling beverages provided by the Lark Winespace and light bites ($15 at https://bit.ly/wonders-reception / complimentary for Reciprocal-level members and above). The exhibition explores the human fascination with the cosmos and its mysteries through over 100 works of art from the museum's collection. The exhibition draws inspiration from Ada Limón's poem 'In Praise of Mystery' and brings together poetry, astronomy, science and visual art. The exhibition features five galleries each with a theme and poem to prompt the viewer's own reflection and interpretation of the pieces that span historic to contemporary art.
