The museum says, “this exhibition explores the role of romanticism in contemporary art. A style of art originating in the late 18th century that quickly spread across Europe and the United States, Romanticism emphasizes emotion, imagination, and immersion in nature as the source of beauty and truth.

“In Western art today, Romanticism is associated with depictions of the natural world, noble creatures, and conjured histories. Come and experience the West as it has been imagined to be, but also as it is: a place indelibly shaped by the enduring appeal of its historical image.”
