Imagined with a vast variety of creatures parading into the ark two by two, the animals intrigue most youth who hear the story of Noah’s ark and the cargo it carried. For centuries the account of the flood has fascinated children and adults alike, and has captured the imagination of the artist like no other biblical narrative.

This exhibition has over 25 renditions of the story of the flood from diverse sources and in a variety of media, some of which include etchings by Marc Chagall, Ben Zion, and Arthur Geisert; a 17th century engraving; paintings by outsider artists Rudolph Bostic and Dorethy Gorham; two molas from the San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama; a stencil print by Japanese artist Sadao Watanabe; and several charming wood sculpted Noah’s arks. Together they promise the viewer a delightful experience of exploring anew the beloved story of Noah and the ark.
