Upcoming Exhibitions

This exhibition highlights the Museum’s Collection of sculptural ceramics, especially from the 1980s until today.

As an American art museum, the exhibition calls attention to the fact that we have decided to collect those artists who came to this country – either at their own prompting or out of necessity. As they adopted America as their new home, we have, in turn, embraced them, their creative output, and their artwork.

This exhibition surveys the life’s work of Lewis Wickes Hine (1874–1940), the father of American documentary photography.

This extraordinary exhibition, drawn from the collection of the Reading Public Museum, explores the path to Impressionism through the 19th century in France. The show examines the sometimes complex relationship between French Impressionism of the 1870s and 1880s and the American interpretation of the style in the decades that followed.
