The Center for Railroad Photography & Art’s traveling exhibition, “After Promontory: 150 Years of Transcontinentail Railroading,” will open at two sites this weekend.
Today, March 29, the exhibition opens at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art in Provo, Utah. Tomorrow, March 30, it opens at the Durham Museum in Omaha, Neb.
The traveling exhibition, containing over seventy-five photographs (both historic and modern day), examines the significance and lasting impact of the transcontinental railroads on the American West and studies how these railroads profoundly reshaped the human geography of the West.
In Provo, the exhibit will be on view until Oct. 6, 2019, and includes several original 19th-century prints from the Brigham Young University Museum of Art collection.
In Omaha, the exhibit runs through July 28.
