This new exhibition features a variety of costume and scenic designs by the late Robert O’Hearn, alumnus and professor emeritus of opera studies in the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. O’Hearn also worked as an opera, ballet, and theater designer for the Metropolitan Opera, IU Opera and Ballet Theater, Broadway, and other opera and theater companies across the country and Europe. A selection from the 600+ works that are now held by the University Archives celebrates O’Hearn as a visual storyteller, talented artist, and impactful designer.

Back by popular demand! Come build with us at CardBoard Build Days, a hands-on, creativity-packed program where imagination and engineering meet! Designed for children ages 8 and up, this experience invites young builders to explore the endless possibilities of cardboard as a construction material. Drop in and build!
To spark creativity and demonstrate building strategies, we’ll have themed stations each showcasing a different cardboard crafting technique. Kids can try them all—or simply use them as inspiration for their own original ideas. The stations include:
Marble Runs: We will have one pre-build for inspiration
Towers and bridges
Nature Inspired
