The Minnesota Marine Art Museum presents exhibitions that span from contemporary to historic, across a variety of mediums. It is through this surprising diversity that MMAM is not only describing what marine art is, but pushing the boundaries of what marine art can be. In 2023, MMAM will present a year-long suite of integrated exhibitions and programs that explore the human relationship to the flora and fauna of our mysterious and brilliant world. A trajectory of three artists, three mediums, and three masterful surface explorations of the botanical wonders of our world. Historic Japanese prints from Imao Keinen, contemporary porcelain vessels by Hitomi Hosono, and printed fabrics and original prints from Ian Hanesworth. One of two surviving versions of Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze was loaned by private collectors in 2014 to MMAM. This version of the painting, the third and final version created by Leutze, is a smaller scale version which most recently was on display at the White House prior to its acquisition by the MMAM. This painting is no longer on display at MMAM as of April 2022.
