Nocturnes: National Gallery of Art
July 23, 2026 - January 31, 2027
What does the night let us imagine?
Nocturnes can create a sense of tranquility . . . or mystery and unease. See how eight photographers bring a modern, cinematic approach to creating art inspired by the night. Then, imagine a story, craft a poem, or share a reflection in response. Commissioned music and special lighting immerse you in an installation about our experiences after dark.
Organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington
Curated by Andrea Nelson, associate curator of photographs
