This unique exhibition, organized by the Dixon Gallery and Gardens, Joslyn Art Museum, and Shelburne Museum, traces the history of the railroad in America through the eyes of artists working during the period.
Darel Snodgrass talks with Dixon Gallery and Gardens' Martha R. Robinson Curator Julie Pierotti about the genesis of this exhibition and how the railroads' importance in American History led to their depiction by so many artists, both well-known and obscure.
Two other exhibits are also open on Sunday, November 3: "Scott A. Carter: Energy States" in the Mallory and Wurzburger Galleries and "Natural Histories: 400 Years of Scientific Illustration" in the Interactive Gallery.
