Exhibits
Da Vinci Inventions
Open through March 3rd, 2019
The Da Vinci Inventions exhibition brings to life the genius of Leonardo as an inventor, artist, scientist, anatomist, engineer, architect, sculptor and philosopher. Working from Leonardo’s codices, Italian Artisans have faithfully crafted interactive and life-size machine inventions. These works include the first concepts of a car, bicycle, helicopter, glider, parachute, SCUBA, submarine, a forerunner to the modern military tank and an ideal city, to name a few. The exhibit also moves far beyond machine inventions alone, featuring facsimiles of Leonardo’s most famous codices, anatomical studies, Anghiari battle drawings and displays of his renaissance art in actual size. Suitable for all ages, this amazing exhibition provides a fascinating insight into not only the mind of a genius, but also into the fundamental scientific and artistic principles that he discovered.

Marshall University Collaborative Exhibition
April – July 2019
Opening reception during Art After Dark on April 18th, 2019, 7:30-9:30pm
For this exhibition, Marshall University students will develop an exhibition concept responsive to on-site research of works from the Juliet Art Museum collection. Students will research individual works of art in the museum collection and develop a curatorial concept responsive to these works. They will establish an expressive and significant exhibition concept relevant to contemporary culture. Each student will also choose a piece to respond to through their own artistic practice, then displaying their work next to works from the collection.
