EXPERIENCE: NEWSLETTER VERSION
With Chattanooga’s mountains, outdoor space + incredible views, we don’t call it the Scenic City for nothing — but sometimes the heat can get to you. What if we told you that you can beat the heat and see the scenic landscapes indoors?
City Editor Haley here. I recently spent an afternoon exploring the wonders of painted landscapes in the Hunter Museum of American Art’s new exhibition, “In Nature’s Studio: Two Centuries of American Landscape Painting.” Step out of the sun and into the exhibit as I show you the highlights and share how you can Try This.
What we tried:
We toured the museum’s newest exhibit, which features 65+ American landscapes as seen through the eyes of various artistic movements — from 19th century realism to 20th century modernism. (Pro tip: Members get in for free).
While the exhibits are always beautifully curated, this one felt like home to us as it was reminiscent of our own scenic landscapes here in Chattanooga.
Keep reading as I share my favorites and give you the 411 on their summer programs.*

EXPERIENCE: EXTENDED WEBSITE VERSION
What not to miss:
The Hunter curated this latest traveling exhibit from the Reading Public Museum’s collection in an effort to bring the countryside and its beauty to visitors. Spoiler: it didn’t disappoint.
The collection comes just in time for summer. Its span across two centuries of artists and art movements includes the first uniquely American artistic movement — the Hudson River School.
Moving through the gallery, you can see the shift in time and the influences of the period as paintings move from Impressionism, Tonalism, and Modernism.
Bonus: The museum will be hosting several summer programs to enhance the exhibition experience in + outside, including outings to Reflection Riding and Williams Island. Learn more + sign-up while spots are available.
What we’re still talking about:
We were amazed by how similar the landscapes were to our very own Scenic City, especially in John Heyl Raser’s “View of Poplar Neck #2 Neversink Mountains.” It felt like looking out on top of one of our own mountains, but in the comfort of the gallery.
Pro tip: Take notice of which paintings have “Collection Connection” label + find other work from that artist that the museum has in its own collection.
