Photographic Exhibit Preview

July 9, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - August 13, 2023 @ 4:00 pm

Morris County Through the Lens of Time:
A Photographic Journey by Xiomáro.

Special preview July 9- August 13, 2023
Formal opening September 2023, running through April 2024

From the iconic to the little-known, Morris County is brimming with historic sites that capture the imagination. In this landmark exhibit, nationally acclaimed photographer Xiomáro captures eight of the county’s historic sites from new, exciting angles: “With my camera, I can compose a deeper view and understanding of these sites that cannot be seen in a tour or fully appreciated in a history book.”

Through the never-before-seen works on display – shot especially for this exhibit – the artist explores the beauty to be found in the mundane and the poignant traces left behind by generations past.

Artifacts generously provided by each site’s stewards will complement the powerful images as a tangible connection to the diverse histories reflected in Xiomáro’s lens.
