Do you believe that Bigfoot is real?
We Could Be Heroes delves into the growing captivation with super heroes and monsters in contemporary pop culture. At the exhibit, you’ll see a life-size Loch Ness Monster, a 20-foot tall alien girl, and other captivating art created from a variety of mediums. Everything from Alice in Wonderland to Oprah and Bigfoot.
Jeff Lambson, BYU Curator of Contemporary Art says, “Nearly every recorded history has some story of the hero battling the monster, and good triumphing over evil.” Bring your family and explore, the monsters and heroes of history, as well as those of society today.
