Thomas Moran and New Acquisitions from the Permanent Collection

Two Thomas Moran paintings that are on long-term loan to Dubuque Museum of Art returned for an encore exhibition. These popular paintings of The Grand Canyon and Venice made their first public appearance in over 70 years last spring when they were loaned to DuMA from a private local collection.

The Moran paintings were accompanied by a selection of new acquisitions to the DUMA Permanent Collection over the past three years by artists Max Ernst, Don Glasell, Persis Weaver Robertson, Charles Schroeder, Norman Zepeski, Carl H. Johnson Jr., and Ellen Wagener.
