Freedom, Dignity, and the Long Arc: A Commemorative Exhibition for the 250th Anniversary of the United States

This exhibition brings together Norman Rockwell’s most enduring moral statements on American life — works that define not just who we have been, but who we aspire to be. At its heart are the celebrated Four Freedoms (1943) — Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear — painted during the nation’s darkest wartime hours as a reminder of the ideals worth fighting for.

Alongside them hangs The Golden Rule (1961), Rockwell’s luminous gathering of the world’s peoples beneath the words “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You” — a vision of universal humanity that transcends borders and creeds. The exhibition culminates with “The Problem We All Live With” (1964), Rockwell’s unflinching portrayal of six-year old Ruby Bridges escorted to William Frantz Elementary School.

Together, these works trace a living conversation across two decades: the freedoms proclaimed, the dignity demanded, and the child who walked toward both. As the United States marks 250 years, they ask us the same question Rockwell always asked — are we yet the country we promised to be?

Celebrating the Artistic Heritage of Indiana

Indiana has always been a place that inspires — from the rolling, sun-dappled hills of Brown County to the flat, patterned farmlands of the north, from small-town traditions to the bold ideas that put Hoosier artists on the world stage. Hoosier Made brings together a diverse collection of works that celebrate the landscapes, communities, people, and ideas that define this remarkable state and the artists who have called it home. This exhibit showcases many never before seen works in the museum’s permanent collection from artists such as T.C. Steele, Robert Indiana, William Forsyth and Homer Davisson to local and regional artists, Ted Drake, Joe Mayberry, Susie Lehman, Abner Hershberger and more.

This exhibit celebrates the artistic heritage of Indiana by showcasing a diverse collection of works inspired by its landscapes, communities, people, traditions, and ideas. From serene landscapes to contemporary expressions, the artworks in this exhibit highlight the creativity and perspective of artists connected to Indiana.

Tuck Langland reimagines ancient Egypt through a contemporary lens

Tuck Langland is one of the Michiana region’s most celebrated sculptors. Born and educated in Minnesota, he received his BFA and MFA in sculpture from the University of Minnesota. In 1971 he joined Indiana University South Bend as professor of sculpture, retiring in 2002 to return to a full-time sculpture career. Langland’s work can be found at the British Museum in London, the International Olympic Committee headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Mayo Clinic, the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Indiana University, and the University of Notre Dame, among many others.

Langland’s “Egyptian Series” (or “Egypt Revisited”) features 10 bronze sculptures reimagining ancient Egyptian figures through a contemporary, artistic lens, inspired by his travels. The collection includes both original figural pieces and works interpreted from famous Egyptian art, showcasing Langland’s renowned, lively bronze style.

Art has always been humanity’s most honest language — one that speaks across time, culture, and experience without the need for translation. Mind, Body and Soul brings together a compelling collection of works that explore the full spectrum of what it means to be human. Whether rendered in bold strokes of paint, the delicate lines of a drawing, or the textured surfaces of sculpture, each piece in this exhibition invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and recognize something of themselves. Mind, Body and Soul is a reminder that while our individual journeys may differ, the feelings that shape them are something we all share — and that art, perhaps more than anything else, has the power to make us feel less alone in carrying them.
