Snow globes with a peculiar twist are coming to the Muskegon Museum of Art

MUSKEGON, MI — The Muskegon Museum of Art is excited to present Strange Winter: The Snow Globes of Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz beginning Thursday, November 16. Strange Winter is an exhibition featuring unique, eerie, and fantastical worlds of unexpected and often macabre scenes within a snow globe. 

With a peculiar take on the traditional snow globe, artists Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz create scenes that explore the uncertainties and tragedies of life with dark, humorous, and strangely charming narratives. The sculptures and accompanying photography within the Strange Winter exhibition are borrowed from the artists’ Travelers series.

Exhibiting alongside Oddities & Delights from the MMA’s permanent collection and the vintage-inspired Festival of Trees, Strange Winter pulls together a unique set of winter exhibitions under one roof for this upcoming holiday season.

Strange Winter: The Snow Globes of Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz opens at the Muskegon Museum of Art on Thursday, November 16 with an Opening Reception at 5 PM. The event is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be displayed through February 11, 2024.
