Nautilus Pump Organ - Objects of Wonder

A look at the pump organ that was taken on board the Nautilus submarine's 1931 Arctic Expedition. The organ is included in the Columbus Museum of Art exhibition Objects of Wonder from The Ohio State University, on view September 26, 2008 - January 11, 2009

The Columbus Museum of Art and The Ohio State University have shared a passion for knowledge and collecting for more than one hundred and thirty years. Objects of Wonder from The Ohio State University takes its cue from the age-old cabinet of curiosities, which displayed an astonishing range of objects, from the scientific to the artistic. The exhibition brings to light the surprising treasures held in the University's vast collections, from matchboxes to Marilyn, pigeons to paintings, and cartoons to costumes. Every artifact in this show tells a unique story. Experienced together, these objects inspire unexpected connections. Bring your curiosity as you discover and explore the wonders of OSU at CMA.
