Visitors can discover and enjoy a new large-scale wall painting created by Odili Donald Odita, who was inspired by Julian Abele, the African-American architect who designed Duke Chapel and most of Duke's campus. Three 15-foot-tall sculptures in the Great Hall, made by Chilean artist Iván Navarro, are inspired by the water towers common in New York City. The title This Land is Your Land is from the well-known Woody Guthrie folk song of the same name. Outside, a monumental sculpture by German artist Katharina Grosse rises up from the museum's front lawn. More details.
