Exhibits in the Box Galleries:
“Every beautiful thing”

At the age of 40, Rubina "Uncle Ruby" Herum left her city life behind and moved to Iowa, purchasing a slightly run-down mansion that she filled with paper replicas of every beautiful thing that she could remember or imagine. She created an encyclopedic collection of 2-dimensional specimens, dioramas, and non-religious shrines that fill every wall, nook and cranny in the sprawling home, which she sees as both living space and museum. She regards all of her work as one magical installation - the objects on loan to the SMCA are a tiny piece of the complete assemblage.
