From folklore and witchcraft to meteorology and climate science, travel through centuries of humanity’s shared experience with the weather, from the 1700s to the present day. In this guided tour, explore more than three hundred years of our evolving relationship with the natural world in A Weather Eye: Art and Early Modern Meteorology. Then step into the present day in Fever Dreams of a Cool-Breathed Earth, an immersive, sensory examination of climate change from contemporary artists Christa Donner and Andrew S. Yang.
