Ansel Adams: Majestic Lands features more than 40 works by the iconic American landscape photographer, including selections from the Museum Set, a collection of photographs that Adams himself selected late in life as his best works.

During a career that spanned five decades, Adams (1902–1984) became known as one of America’s most recognizable landscape photographers and one of the country’s most respected environmentalists. His work centers on his deeply held conviction that place matters and that the world around us is a marvel to behold, to respect, and to honor.

Presented in dialogue with Victoria Sambunaris: Altered Lands, these exhibitions trace an evolving vision of the American landscape from untouched wilderness to places transformed by human presence.

This exhibition is organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA, and comprised of works from the Collection of Turtle Bay Exploration Park, Redding, CA.

Generously supported by the Hillman Foundation, The Heinz Endowments, and the Westmorland County Tourism Grant Program.
