Tourism and the American Landscape

Frederic Church, Winslow Homer, and Thomas Moran: Tourism and the American Landscape explores the promotion of nature tourism in nineteenth-century America through Cooper-Hewitt's extraordinary collections of oil paintings, drawings, and watercolors by these artists.

The exhibition presents the Museum's Americana collection for the first time in more than fifteen years and is the premiere showing of many of its Homer oil paintings.

The exhibition can be viewed between May 19, 2006 and October 29, 2006.
