Don't miss this beautiful exhibit 'Restoring an American Treasure: The Panorama of the Monumental Grandeur of the Mississippi Valley.' The Panorama of the Monumental Grandeur of the Mississippi Valley (c.1850) was commissioned by Dr. Montroville W. Dickeson and created by artist John J. Egan. While the subjects of Panorama vary widely across time and cultures, the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys serve as the backdrop for many of the 25 scenes. Dickeson exhibited Panorama in the 1850s, giving his own live narration.
