 | Mud Across the Museum
| | For Marvelous Mud: Clay Around the World we dug deep and created eight exhibitions that demonstrate how artists have utilized clay across the globe and throughout time. Explore China's fabled blue-and-white ceramics, peep at Dirty Pictures, and have your expectations of clay shattered by the contemporary installations in Overthrown: Clay Without Limits. Take a visit or two to peruse the galleries and find your favorite use of this material. Don't miss the Mud Studio, our hands-on workshop space. At all times you can play on a pottery wheel, learn to hand-build, and look inside a kiln. Each weekend, check out live artist demonstrations. Thanks to all of our community partners. Visit our Marvelous Mud partner page to find special deals around town.

Don't Miss | | There is always something new to see or do at the museum. Don't miss Night Hunter, a stunning animation by Boulder-based artist Stacey Steers, on view through August 14. If drawing is more your style, make sure to stop by Watching Me Watching You in our works-on-paper gallery before it closes on August 28.
