This exhibition highlights Samuel F.B. Morse’s iconic painting Gallery of the Louvre. Filled with miniature reproductions of the Louvre’s finest treasures, this painting is a signal work of transatlantic exchange intended to connect American audiences with great European artworks.

This exhibition of drawings spanning the 19th and 20th centuries represents the evolution of the medium from preliminary outlines for other artistic media to a modern means of self-expression in its own right.
