Thomas Moran at Shoshone Falls Closing January 16 One of the most important examples of 19th-century American painting, Thomas Moran's Shoshone Falls on the Snake River depicts a breathtaking portrayal of the "Niagara of the West."   New exhibition: Safety in Numbers?   Safety in Numbers? Images of African American Identity and Community January 8 - April 17, 2011 Drawn from the Museum's collection and private lenders, the exhibition features approximately 50 prints, drawings, and photographs exploring the ways in which isolation, community, and the search for identity affected African Americans during the 20th century.

Mixing new works and a few past gems, the 28th Reel Music Festival puts the spotlight on the incongruous, transformative, and sometimes bizarre origins of songs we sing every day.
