Farmington Museum Director Bart Wilsey discusses the new exhibit: Ansel Adams-Masterworks at the Farmington Museum Jan. 30-April 2, 2016.  This exhibition features a collection of 47 works chosen by Adams to represent his life's work. These photographs are called “The Museum Set,” and reveal the importance he placed on the drama and splendor of natural environments. Included are many of Adams' most famous and best-loved photographs which encompass the full scope of his work: elegant details of nature, architectural studies, portraits, and the breathtaking landscapes for which he is revered.
