The Taber Museum was open for a rare evening on May 20, 2026, so that the public could take a last-look at the exhibition Echoes of Eden in a Rising Republic: Still Life and the Beauty of Becoming, which features a collection of thirty-seven still life paintings from the Neal Milligan Collection. Sadly, the 6-month exhibit comes to a close at the end of May.

Gary Parks, Museum Director, presented Neil with a certificate of appreciation for his generous loan of the paintings for the exhibit.

Attendees were treated to a free poster and discounted catalogs, signed by Neil.

The paintings were well received and provided a boost to Museum attendance. The exhibit garnered nationwide recognition and visitors from many states and as far away as Japan.

Here are some photos from the closing event.
