In Awe of the Iron Horse: Trains from the Collection of David R. and Susan S. Goode
Trains and the railroad system represent a technological advance that changed the social, environmental, and economic landscape across the globe.
This exhibition invites visitors to view trains through the lens of the “technological sublime,” a concept that situates trains as objects of awe on the same level as wonders of nature.
The “sublime” is a beauty so incredible and incomprehensible that it provokes equal parts wonderment and anxiety.

Memories & Inspiration: The Kerry and C. Betty Davis Collection of African American Art
Finding voices of the African Diaspora that might otherwise be forgotten is at the heart of the Davis Collection. Featured artists include Romare Bearden, Beverly Buchanan, Elizabeth Catlett, Ernest T. Crichlow, Sam Gilliam, Loïs Mailou Jones, Jacob Lawrence, Gordon Parks, Alma Thomas, and Charles White, among others.
The collectors did not search exclusively for well-known and/or documented artists. Rather, they focused on the more meaningful task of gathering and preserving a range of artistic approaches to the black image, in order to console the psyche and contribute to a more authentic articulation of the self.
