More than 20 years after his death, Ansel Adams (1902–1984) remains one of the world’s most beloved and widely exhibited American photographers. Comprised of more than 40 photographs selected from the Museum’s extensive holdings of the artist’s work, this exhibition focuses on Adams’s less-familiar landscape images in order to demonstrate his innate understanding of graphic form and balanced design.

Organized to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of a dynamic Philadelphia arts institution—the Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA)—this exhibition presents a varied and accomplished selection of works on paper by twenty-five artists.

For Europeans during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, China—or Cathay as it was sometimes called—was a magical place. This exhibition includes nine Chinoiserie textiles and embroideries from the Museum's outstanding collection.
