Michael Dunbar: Studies for Monumental Works
March 7 through July 26
On display inside the Gallery Museum
12PM – 5PM, closed on Tuesday
You likely know Michael Dunbar by his monumental piece, Euclid's Cross, a visitor favorite among Pyramid Hill's collection. This spring, we will showcase the artist's latest works, many of which have never been seen by the public. Some recent themes in his work explore a fascination with mechanisms, flight and machinery through abstract means.
An exhibition reception will be hosted on Wednesday, April 1 offering a conversation with the artist, refreshments, and small bites.
Robert McCloskey: Season of Wonder
March 7 through July 26
On display inside the Gallery Museum
12PM – 5PM, closed on Tuesday
This exhibition is the second year of our partnership with the McCloskey Wonder Works Museum through the Butler County Historical Society. The show features illustrations from McCloskey’s masterpiece, Time of Wonder (1957), on loan from the May Massee Collection at Emporia State University, KS. These vibrant illustrations from the Caldecott winning book tell the story of nature, weather, and wonder as a family explores an island in Maine. Also included are illustrations by Claire Keane from Angela Burke Kunkel’s Make Way, as well as maquettes by sculptor Nancy Schon that capture McCloskey’s illustrated characters in three dimensions.
An exhibition reception will be hosted on Friday, May 15 with artist lectures, refreshments, and small bites.

In partnership with Cincinnati-based arts and wellness organization, The Well, Pyramid Hill is thrilled to unveil Soundscapes, a self-guided audio journey that transforms four areas of Pyramid Hill's grounds into immersive audio experiences.
