Castellani Art Museum - Daredevils of Niagara Falls

May 22, 2024 - October 13, 2024

Get ready for an adventure like no other at Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University! From May 22 to October 13, 2024, dive into the exhilarating world of Daredevils of Niagara Falls: The Spectacle of Triumph and Tragedy. This must-see exhibition brings to life the daring feats of those brave souls who took on the mighty Niagara Falls, from heart-stopping barrel rides to breathtaking tightrope walks.

Discover the incredible stories of legendary daredevils like Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to survive a trip over the Falls in a barrel, and The Great Blondin, who wowed crowds with his tightrope stunts. You'll also meet lesser-known but equally fearless adventurers such as Martha Wagenfuhrer and Maria Spelterini. With a mix of fascinating artifacts, stunning artworks, and immersive displays, this exhibition captures the spirit of adventure and the awe-inspiring power of the Falls.

Don't miss the chance to step into a 3-D photo backdrop and imagine yourself going over the Falls in a barrel - no daredevil skills required! And mark your calendar for the special opening reception for the public on June 6, 2024, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., which also celebrates the opening of Colors Sing to Me: The Life and Art of Polly King.

Bring your family and friends to experience this thrilling journey through history and art. For more details and to sign up for special programs, visit www.castellaniartmuseum.org and navigate to CAM's program calendar.
