This exhibition made possible by Signature Financial Management and the generosity of the lenders.

Featuring 163 works of art from 42 private collections, this new exhibition feels like a museum within a museum, progressing from Old Masters to cutting-edge contemporary art in one leisurely stroll.

The overall strength of the show reflects the sophistication of the collectors and there are almost too many highlights to list. These exceptional pieces include work by Ansel Adams, Thomas Hart Benton, Albert Bierstadt, Dale Chihuly, Winslow Homer, Roy Lichtenstein, Georgia O'Keeffe, Lino Tagliapietra, Grant Wood and more.
