Ends: February 7, 2019 - 7:30 pm
Location: MONA, 2401 Central Ave, Kearney, NE 68847, USA
Description: MONA TANGO with Robert & Dorothy Miller If you had but three minutes to spend with the love of your life, what would you do?

Since it is designed for those who have never danced Argentine tango before, no prior dance instruction is needed. The 45-minute lessons are followed by 15-minute practice sessions. Instructors Robert & Dorothy Miller keep the pace deliberate and methodical with ample review.
Thursdays: January 10, 17, 24, 31, February 7, 14 Time: 6:30-7:30 p.m. Age: 15+ Cost per couple: $50 (members), $60 (non-members) Register by: Friday, January 4; full payment is due with registration. Class size is limited to six couples.

A River Runs Through It
A River Runs Through It
Starts: 10:00 am
Ends: February 26, 2019 - 5:00 pm
Location: MONA, 2401 Central Ave, Kearney, NE 68847, USA
Description: A River Runs Through It February 26 – July 21, 2019 In Paul A. Johnsgard’s book, Crane Music: A Natural History of American Cranes, the author writes, “There is a river in the heart of North America that annually gathers together the watery largess of melting Rocky Mountain snowfields and glaciers and spills wildly down the eastern slopes of Colorado and Wyoming. Reaching the plains, it quickly loses its momentum and begins to spread out and flow slowly across Nebraska from west to east. As it does so, it cuts a sinuous tracery through the native prairies that has been followed by millennia by both men and animals. The river is the Platte.” This exhibition explores the artwork inspired by the Platte River – from the sounds and sights of the land, flora, and fauna that surround, inhabit, and visit it to the sky that stretches far above. Works included are by such artists as Leoda Davis, Terry Evans, Michael Forsberg, Paul Johnsgard, Karen Kunc, Tom Mangelsen, Joel Sartore, Wendy Weiss & Jay Kramer, Worthington Whittredge, among others.

Collection Connection
Starts: 2:00 pm
Ends: February 27, 2019 - 3:00 pm
Location: MONA, 2401 Central Ave, Kearney, NE 68847, USA
Description: Dr. Michael Hoff: Mosaics, Baths, and Pirate Treasure, The Excavations at Antiochia ad Cragum in Asia Minor Wednesday, February 27 • 2:00 p.m. Since 2005, the Roman-era city Antiochia ad Cragum has been undergoing excavation by the University of Nebraska. The city was founded on the former base of the famed late Hellenistic Cilician pirates who preyed upon ships throughout the Mediterranean Sea. This talk, explores the early history of the city, its pirate past, and extraordinary mosaics, and is the first forum in which the 2018 discoveries will be announced. These include a mysterious victim whose body was found in a Roman bath building, and a major hoard of over 3,000 mostly silver coins which may be loot from another era of pirates.
Dr. Michael Hoff is a Professor of Art History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln specializing in Greek and Roman archaeology. He currently conducts research in Turkey where, from 1997 to 2004, he co-directed the architectural survey team of the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project. Since 2005, he has been serving as Project Director of the Antiochia ad Cragum Excavations in Rough Cilicia on the south coast of Turkey.
