5/12/2012
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is the proud home of much of the life's work of renowned regional folk artists Leo and Marilyn Smith. The Smith's work encompasses life in a river town, and many of the visual ideas that they explore evoke stories of people, places, and events. A few stories will be shared on exhibition labels and visitors to this exhibition will have the opportunity to share their story by reflecting on their experiences with the sculptures and/or the Smiths themselves.

Upon Native Waters: The Photographs of Edward Curtis
|
1/5/2012 -
3/4/2012
Edward Curtis (1868-1952), who was born in Wisconsin and raised in Minnesota, is one of the most recognizable names in American photographic history. Curtis has been praised for his artistic mastery as well as his work in preserving Native American heritage and cross-cultural understanding. His work has also been, more recently, criticized for his decisions to omit objects from his pictures that were, at the time, modern objects reflective of the assmilation of Native peoples. His masterpiece, The North American Indian, was the result of 30 years of work and thousands of photographs.
This exhibition is courtesy of the Minneapolis Athenaeum / Hennepin County Library Special Collections.

The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is proud to be the public home to the Burrichter/Kierlin Marine Art Collection. The collection is vast — with well over 400 works from historic marine art to modern masters — and is one of the best collections of its kind in the United States.
The fall / early-winter 2011 season of temporary exhibitions at the MMAM is dedicated to artwork depicting water and made by water, or perhaps more specifically, made by watercolors. Watercolors from the Burrichter/Kierlin Marine Art Collection is a big part of the season's programming, and displays impressive artistic accomplishments of the sea from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Funded in part by the donors and members of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. Thank you for your support.
