Big Places, Small Spaces
Many Japanese garden designers have
replicated and idealized the vastness of
nature within the confines of urban and
suburban residential settings. Join
Bruce Coats, Professor of Art History
and Humanities at Scripps College,
Claremont, to examine some of those
design schemes with particular
attention to the landscaping tradition of
the Imperial Capital of Kyoto and the
samurai outpost of Chiran, Kyushu.

The Newtonian Moment:
The Making of Modern
Culture
“Newton’s ideas permeated every area
of our culture,” says Newton scholar
Mordechai Feingold, the show’s
curator and a professor of history at
Caltech in Pasadena. “His discoveries
remain fundamental to our
understanding of the world. The show
will also explore how people
subsequently tried to build on, change,
and respond to Newton.”
The exhibition’s first half, “All was
Light: Isaac Newton’s Revolutions”
(closing June 12), examined the
formation of the mind of a genius and
showcased a range of rare Newton
materials including his personal copy
of his groundbreaking Principia
Mathematica (1687), the monumental
treatise that unified celestial and
terrestrial mechanics under a single
law – universal gravitation. Both
Huntington shows originated from the
exhibition The Newtonian Moment:
Science and the Making of Modern
Culture at the New York Public
Library (Oct. 2004 - Feb. 2005),
curated by Feingold as well.
Additional items supplement the
display at The Huntington.
