The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University is hosting an exhibition through October 28. Named Yosemite Views, the exhibit showcases a wide array of Yosemite’s structure and textures. There are about fifty photographs, maps, guidebooks and stereo prints that present the geological wonders of Yosemite Valley and its surroundings.
Photographs by Eadweard Muybridge, Carleton Watkins and Ansel Adams are the highlights of the exhibition. These pictures highlight the images from the 1860s through the 1940s. The rapidly flowing Merced River, the plunging waterfalls, mists of Bridal Veil and Yosemite Falls are among the memorable images in the exhibition.
In addition, there are films that you can see after your walk through the museum. All shows are at 7 pm in the Annenberg Auditorium, Cummings Art Building on the Stanford campus.
