The museum will also present two smaller exhibitions. Opening on March 23 will be A Wondrous Journey: Jonathan Fisher and the Making of Scripture Animals in the museum's Craig Gallery. Andrew Wyeth: Her Room will be on display beginning in April in the Wyeth Study Center. In addition, Summer 2013 will mark the reopening of the Farnsworth Homestead which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
