Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University

Dorothy Lichtenstein was so welcoming when Beth Finch and I visited with her in New York City and Southampton. She was a gracious host and was immensely supportive of our exhibition. I will always remember her vivaciousness and wonderful sense of humor.

American Stories / American Myths

What comes to mind when you think of the history of the United States? This re-installed gallery, opening June 15, features works of art that encourage visitors to think about how stories and myths shape our understanding and may preserve or counter fallacies of nationhood and democracy.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEW STORE

Parker & Otis at the Nasher Museum!

“Well, first of all, we love Jennings. With her eye and the work that she’s done with stores in the community, it’s going to be, for the first time, really a reflection of our identity as a museum, because she understands it. And even the way it looks as a space – not to mention the merchandise – it just changes things dramatically. We’re super excited.” – Nasher Museum Director Trevor Schoonmaker in the summer issue of Durham magazine. Come and visit this bright little shop filled with books, gifts, art supplies and more! June hours: Friday and Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM.

"Here's how to cop Nina Chanel Abney's show-stopping Jordan 3s."
NASHER IN THE NEWS

"Here's how to cop Nina Chanel Abney's show-stopping Jordan 3s."

The GQ headline says it all: "The Summer's Hottest Air Jordan Sneakers Finally Have an Official Release Date." The article continues, "it’s no surprise that Abney’s collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand have been uniformly striking and thought-provoking." It's not often the art world collides with the hot sneaker market! The artist's first museum solo show originated at the Nasher Museum in 2017: "Nina Chanel Abney: Royal Flush." Congratulations, Nina!
