Conversation with the Collector: David R. Goode - In Awe of the Iron Horse

David R. Goode isn’t just the retired Chairman, President, and CEO of Norfolk Southern Corporation – he’s also an avid art collector and devoted advocate for the arts here in Virginia and beyond.

Among the many highlights of his collection are works featuring trains and our country’s railway system, a passion he’s held since childhood.

Join us for the special Conversation with the Collector featuring David Goode, who will be joined by the Taubman Museum of Art’s Deputy Director of Exhibitions Katie Hirsch to discuss the works on view in the exhibition, "In Awe of the Iron Horse: Trains in the Collection of David R. and Susan S. Goode."

This exhibition invites visitors to view trains through the lens of the “technological sublime,” a concept that situates trains as objects of awe on the same level as wonders of nature. The “sublime” is a beauty so incredible and incomprehensible that it provokes equal parts wonderment and anxiety.

Free and welcoming to all.

Registration is required to reserve your seat.
