This exhibit brings in rarely seen work from private collections, giving visitors a sense of the amazing artwork in existence right here in our valley. Approximately 20 works are featured, including wildlife and landscape scenes. Complementing the borrowed artwork are recent gifts and promised gifts, which will help us talk about how the Museum builds its own collection.
