Join Katherine Banerjee, Associate Curator, for this unique gallery experience and learn more about the Nathan Benn Peculiar Paradise exhibition.  

Nathan Benn spent two decades photographing for the National Geographic Magazine, capturing the people and local cultures of the United States and abroad, from the Finger Lakes to the Dead Sea, from front porches to archaeological digs. In 1981, he turned his camera to his home region of South Florida and captured the lively location full of strange intersections where people, and critters, from different walks of life can cross paths.
