The Plains Indians: Artists of Earth and SkyThrough January 11, 2015 | Galleries L13–15

Artists from the Plains Indian cultures of North America create works of exceptional beauty, mystery and emotional power. This exhibition celebrates the accomplishments of these artists from before Euro-American contact in the 1500s to the present day with master works from around the globe.

The exhibition was organized by the musée du quai Branly Paris, in partnership with The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, and in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Across the Indian Country: Photographs by Alexander Gardner, 1867–68 Through January 11, 2015 | Gallery L11

This exhibition focuses on two of Alexander Gardner’s extremely rare bodies of work: some of the earliest photos ever taken in Kansas and extraordinary scenes from Indian treaty negotiations.

Piranesi: Imaginative Spaces Dec. 17, 2014–June 14, 2015 | Gallery P13
