A brand new exhibit highlighting the work of famend American panorama photographer David Muench opened this week on the Cline Library’s Special Collections and Archives.

Regionally identified for his quite a few contributions to Arizona Highways journal, in addition to his collaborations with the National Park Service, Muench’s business success took him and his digital camera across the globe.

The exhibit’s title references Muench’s signature strategy to panorama images, which he summarized in Arizona Highways’ December 2015 subject as “the idea of light defining the image.” NAU scholar Niko Bare, SCA’s 2025 Elizabeth M. and P. T. Reilly intern, utilized his eager sense of aesthetics to deciding on images for inclusion within the exhibit. A panorama painter himself, Bare is pursuing a level in studio artwork with minors in museum research and artwork historical past. Bare labored alongside SCA workers to design the format of the bodily exhibit, which incorporates three authentic framed images created by Muench.
