Nebulae: The Universe Unveiled
December 12th- March 9, 2025
Nebulae: The Universe Unveiled celebrates a remarkable new gift to the Art Museum: six awe-inspiring NASA photographs of deep space, captured by the Webb and Hubble Telescopes. Selected by Mark Munkacsy, President of the Astronomical Society of Southern New England, these images are more than just breathtaking; they are rich visual documents that reveal and contextualize some of the universe’s most profound events, from the birth and death of stars to the echoes of the Big Bang, the ongoing expansion of the cosmos, humanity’s origins, and the search for extraterrestrial life.
At the intersection of art and science, this exhibition presents these celestial images as radiant works of art, framed by contemporary artists’ imaginative explorations of the night sky, deep space, and our place within the cosmos.
Nebulae: The Universe Unveiled also features: Space, an experimental film by Jing Wang and Harvey Goldman; a collection of stunning Northern Lights photography by artist and designer Rosanne Somerson; Rachel Ostrow’s abstract paintings evoking the cosmos’ vast mystery; and intricately embroidered thread paintings by self-taught artist David Poyant. Together, these works invite visitors to journey through the universe’s depths, discovering wonder, science, and beauty.
