The solar eclipse of 2024 became one of the biggest events of the year for many people who lived within the zone of totality. This kind of event brings much focus to the celestial world in which many people throughout history have felt the same awe and wonder when viewing the eclipse. With solar eclipses happening all over the world since the beginning of time, there is not a single culture that has not experienced this event. We can see this in many art works and specifically what each culture thought the eclipse represented. This exhibit aims to dive into the complexities within the eclipse itself, the beauty, and wonder that comes with viewing this event.
