A Cache of Kinetic Art: Timeless Movements
On View through August 28, 2022
Join us for the final exhibition in the A Cache
of Kinetic Art series, Timeless Movements,
which explores broad themes of the human experience and how time
manifests in nature through 35 works of kinetic art. Created
by 26 artists, these art objects are expressions of
measuring, marking, embracing, and resisting time. This is the
fourth installment of A Cache of Kinetic Art that
launched in 2018 with Curious Characters.
Leadership support for this exhibition is provided
by Will and Mary Leland.

“Performed with edge-of-the-seat intensity.”–The New York Times
Hear the Grammy-Award winning ensemble play with
the pianist The Observer described as the
“definition of virtuosity” one night before they perform it in
Carnegie Hall, right here in the Museum’s intimate Bickford
Theatre!
Morris Museum audiences developed a special
relationship with the famed Orpheus Chamber Orchestra when they
began performing with small chamber groups in the Museum’s
outdoor Lot of Strings Music Festival in 2020
and again in 2021. Now the relationship culminates in an evening
featuring a full chamber orchestra and guest soloist, Fazil Say!
*Children tickets have limited availability, please
