Iconic favorite images will be grouped alongside never-before-seen-works, highlight the unique transdisciplinary conversations that can occur between objects. The approach used seeks to prioritize dialogue and engagement that shifts the focus to create an accessible and inclusive, interdisciplinary story of American Art.
