Deep within the hidden vaults is a collection of objects so rare and absurd, that many have never been exhibited publicly. To celebrate the museum’s 70th anniversary, visitors are allowed to pull back the curtain and peek into its Cabinet of Curiosities! OCTOBER 7, 2023 – MAY 19, 2024 TIME CHANGES ALL ODDS: PHOTOGRAPHY & CATALINA Time Changes All Odds explores how photography has contributed to the identity of the Island. Through images of the Island’s natural beauty, snapshots of activities, documents of architecture, and moments from the daily lives of the Island’s inhabitants, one can see the changes and similarities over time. MARCH 23, 2024 – AUGUST 4, 2024 ANN WEBER: 26 MILES Using reclaimed cardboard and unfettered imagination, Ann Weber employs wit and emotion to give life to her totemic sculptures. Her organic works reveal tender explorations into the relationships between memory and the passage of time, the vulnerability and resiliency of nature, and the potential inherent in the human spirit. JUNE 8, 2024 – SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 SARAH KAIZAR: RARE AIR RARE AIR features original gouache and ink artwork of Philadelphia-based illustrator and designer Sarah Kaizar.
