About the Exhibitions

These exhibitions will have broad appeal to wide audiences, both young and old. From bold modernist sculptures to the wild history and art of pinball with playable machines, there will be something for everyone.

Into the Third Dimension: Sculpture from the Collection
On view May 29 – Sept. 18, 2016
This exhibition introduces audiences to the breadth of sculptural work in the museum’s permanent collection. From modernist works by Henry Moore, Victor Vasarely, Vladimir Yoffe, Abraham Rattner, and Esther Gentle to contemporary works by Richard Beckman, Jack King, Charles Parkhill and Lin Emery, the collection demonstrates a wide variety of styles and media.

Youth Gone Wild: The History and Art of Pinball
On view June 5 – Sept. 18, 2016
The Museum is teaming up with the Replay Amusement Museum in Tarpon Springs to present this exhibition on the history of pinball, through the artists who helped define the game. The display will cover the early history from the prohibition period (1930s- 1960s) through to the arcade era (1970s- 1990s), weaving together historical narrative with key individuals who defined the game’s aesthetics. For the duration of the exhibition, the museum will feature playable pinball machines in the Interactive Gallery, on loan from the Replay Amusement Museum.
