Mulyana: Vital Ecosystems Exhibit

Feb 7 - Jun 28, 2026

Mulyana: Vital Ecosystems transforms the museum into an imaginative underwater landscape inspired by Indonesia’s stunning coral reef ecosystem. This immersive installation of hand-knit and crocheted sculptures by acclaimed fiber artist Mulyana (b. 1984, Bandung, Indonesia) highlights the beauty and precarity of the ocean and our relationship to it.
