This fall, the Middlebury College Museum of Art will host An Invitation to Awe. At the core of the exhibit are questions about where and how awe is most readily experienced. Older paintings and prints will be displayed in conversation with contemporary objects, scientific equipment, and interactive works that compel the viewer to think of how awe is experienced through senses other than sight.
