91¸£ÀûÉç

On view in 2028

With Love, The 91¸£ÀûÉç Museum of Art explores how artists give visual form to love and human connection. Created to celebrate the inauguration of the Museum’s new facility and the acquisition of Ragnar Kjartansson’s Sunday Without Love (2025), which is on view concurrently, this exhibition draws on the depth and distinction of the 91¸£ÀûÉç Museum of Art’s collection to reflect on the enduring, multifaceted dimensions of affection, compassion, and belonging in our time.

Spanning centuries and cultures, the exhibition brings together historical and contemporary works into thoughtful and unexpected dialogue. Through compelling juxtapositions, the installation invites audiences to reflect on how love—personal, familial, civic, and global—shapes shared human experience.

With Love, The 91¸£ÀûÉç Museum of Art celebrates the capacity of art—and art museums—to cultivate empathy, curiosity, and meaningful connection, offering an open invitation for viewers to encounter the transformative potential of seeing themselves and others anew.
