Summary

In Buffalo, New York, a collection of paintings lay neglected in a storage area of the Museum of Science for many decades. Once coveted, these paintings were no longer deemed aligned with the museum’s vision. How had a science museum become interested in art depicting Zion National Park? And what was to become of the paintings? Art and the national parks go hand in hand in many ways, especially for the early national parks, and Zion is no exception.
