Capturing Imagination
by the World Chess Hall of Fame
Exhibition Dates: May 2018 through November 2018
Location: The Lambert Gallery
Capturing Imagination includes 16 chess sets and artifacts from the permanent collection of the World Chess Hall of Fame. Visitors will marvel at beautifully-sculpted, resin chess pieces including Avengers: Infinity War characters Thor, Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man and Black Panther. Playful sets, featuring characters like internationally-adored Hello Kitty, sitting atop a chess board that doubles as a collector’s tin and cast, hand-painted pieces from Winnie the Pooh, will charm kids of all ages. Science fiction fanatics will set their phasers to fun with a Star Trek tri-dimensional chess set, beaming with precision-cast pieces coated in sterling silver and 24-karat gold. Other pop culture icons such as Snoopy, Fred Flintstone, Miss Piggy, Big Bird and Bart Simpson appeal to all generations.
