The most recent exhibition, The Emotional Show, brings these already present factors to the forefront, a gambit of sentiment forming a panorama of emotional landscapes. In the panoply of sensations in attendance, fear and its corollaries present themselves boldly. The work in this show has become pronounced in relevance since the December 6 UNLV campus shooting that had the museum staff sheltering in place with terror and uncertainty.
