The ancient poet Sappho coined "sweetbitter" in one of her most evocative verses, still striking us to the heart nearly three millennia later. As with so many ancient figures, the poet is more legend than person today, her story told and retold even as her poetry continues to enchant and move. This exhibit will be on display through mid-August 2026.

Exhibitions include: “Another Place: Storymaking the Entangled Prairie” and “Memorias de la Mujer Lotina: Arpilleras, Women, and Coal in Chile.” The museum is open Tuesday through Friday (10–5) and Saturday (10–4) during Spring Break. Admission is always free. Parking access is easy during school breaks.
