Mount Washington: The Crown of New England

October 1, 2016  - January 16, 2017 - Mount Washington: The Crown of New England will be the first museum exhibition devoted entirely to art featuring the Mount Washington region. The exhibition will feature major paintings.  Paintings, prints, vintage photographs and illustrated guidebooks from the late 1820s through the 1870s will document the artistic and historical context in which New Hampshire’s most iconic scenic landmark became a national and international symbol of the American landscape, a center for scientific study and one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations.

This exhibition is being developed in collaboration with the Mount Washington Observatory, North Conway, New Hampshire, a nonprofit educational institution dedicated to documentation, research and education pertaining to the natural history and human heritage of Mount Washington.
