On View May 28 – October 4, 2026
Art in Motion: Kinetic Sculpture with Ivan Iler is a an exhibition that will activate both the indoor and outdoor Museum spaces, bringing movement, engineering, and imagination together through large-scale kinetic sculpture. The exhibition features four monumental works by artist and metal sculptor Ivan Iler, whose practice transforms steel into expressive, mechanically animated forms.
Two sculptures—Fox and Hare and Whale Pair—will be presented indoors in the Wapiti Gallery, while Elephant and Unicorn will be installed outdoors along the Museum’s Sculpture Trail, activating both gallery and landscape with motion and visual impact.
The exhibition will also include an open call for additional kinetic sculptors to exhibit alongside Iler’s work in the Wapiti Gallery, expanding the show into a broader platform for contemporary kinetic art. Interactive tables will invite visitors to design and build their own kinetic sculptures, reinforcing themes of creativity, engineering, and hands-on learning.

Staff Picks
Through May 10, 2026Curating this exhibit has been an exercise in collaboration, which is one of our core values at the Museum. We began by asking each staff member to make a short list of some of their favorite works in the collection. Then, the curatorial team took them to see a few of those pieces. We asked the staff to look for artworks that were not already on display and would not be part of any upcoming exhibitions. A person’s taste in art is so uniquely personal and individual to who they are. This exhibition is not only an opportunity for you to get to know our staff, but it is also a chance to discover new pieces in the permanent collection—or perhaps to see old favorites in a new light.

Two of a Kind?
Through April 26, 2026This exhibition is an exercise in comparison. It invites visitors to consider pairs of artworks, drawn primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection, and contemplate the question posed by its title: are these artworks truly “Two of a Kind?”
