Description:
MONA’s 19th Century Artworks August 14, 2012 – March 31, 2013. The foundational artworks of MONA’s permanent collection are the paintings, drawings, prints, and artifacts created in the 19th century that tell the story of westward expansion and the quickly changing territorial and cultural tides. Works included in this era were created by Artist-Explorers – the individuals who traveled and documented the new frontier, and the Plains Indians – the original inhabitants of the land.
