The exhibition runs September 2-December 16, 2005. In May of 1832, Alexander Philip Maximilian, Prince of Wied-Neuwied traveled across North America accompanied only by his valet, David Dreidoppel, and the young Swiss artist Karl Bodmer. While Prince Maximilian set about studying the natural history of the newly opened frontier, Bodmer documented the landscape and native people they encountered on their journey up the Missouri River into present day Montana. W. Raymond Wood, exhibit curator, is professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and editor of Archaeology on the Great Plains. In 2002, he coauthored Karl Bodmer’s Studio: The Newberry Library Bodmer Collection. The Society’s Main Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30-4:00 p.m. Corridor Galleries are open during regular library hours, Monday through Friday from 8:00-4:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 to 4:30 p.m. For further information contact: Christine Montgomery, 573/882-2476, or email MontgomeryC@umsystem.edu posted @ 3:55 PM |
