The Georgia Museum of Art has opened a new exhibition titled "We, Too, Are Made of Wonders," on view from January 24 to June 28, 2026. Inspired by Ada Limón's poem "In Praise of Mystery," the show brings together poetry, astronomy, science, and visual art to explore humanity's fascination with the cosmos. It features historic, modern, and contemporary works from the museum's permanent collection, including pieces by Dorothy Hood, Mildred Thompson, Lamar Dodd, Robert McCall, and others. Poems guide visitors through themes of wonder, science, mythology, and space exploration, with several works on view for the first time.
The exhibition matters because it offers a multidisciplinary approach to understanding our place in the universe, blending art, literature, and scientific inquiry in a way that encourages public curiosity and contemplation. By showcasing rarely seen works and recent acquisitions, it also highlights the museum's commitment to deepening research and expanding access to its collection. The show reflects a growing trend in museums to create thematic, cross-disciplinary experiences that engage diverse audiences and foster a sense of wonder about both art and the cosmos.
