This major exhibition features more than 65 artworks to tell the extraordinary stories of American women who left the constraints of early 20th-century America to pursue artistic and professional ambitions in Paris.

Otherworldly Journeys: The Fantastical Worlds of Bosch and Bruegel
October 17, 2025 – February 1, 2026
Full of imagination, this exhibition explores the intricate worlds inspired by Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. At a time when other artists adhered to tradition, Bosch and Bruegel were constantly developing novel subject matter and inventing new imagery. Their work, and that of their followers, features satire and mockery alternated with extraordinary visions of heaven and hell – whether portraying boisterous peasants or saints tormented by malevolent beasts. The exhibition, which features nearly 90 original engravings and etchings, is organized and generously loaned by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and locally curated by Kim Spence, curator of works on paper.
