Exhibitions

Barns, Cows, Tractors, Horses, Hay & Farmers

January 28 - May 8, 2021

While not traditionally thought of as subjects for art, farming and agricultural scenes can portray an intriguing story about nature and humanity. Celebrating agriculture through art, Barns, Cows, Tractors, Horses, Hay, and Farmers focuses on paintings, prints, and sculptures from the museum’s collection. Instead of depicting landscapes devoid of human presence, these works of art reflect humanity’s imprint on the land in various ways.

Also included in this exhibition is a timeline that marks the milestones of USU’s contributions to the development of agriculture in this country and elsewhere.

Additional support for this exhibition has come from Utah State University’s College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences and Merrill-Cazier Library Special Collections and Archives. Research for the exhibition was conducted by NEHMA curatorial intern Laura Harwell.
