Past Exhibits

Each year the museum mounts several temporary exhibitions, which generally are on view for a period of six to eighteen months. For some, smaller traveling versions have been sent to the Charlotte and Miami campuses of Johnson & Wales. These shows are built around our own collections or are collaborations with outside artists and scholars.
