Princeton has been home to many places and events in American history. In this online exhibition, you will find the people, places and stories behind some of Princeton’s most well-loved landmarks, and little-known sections of history. Through tiles created by artist Katherine Hackl, we have been able to share these stories and inspire lifelong long learning of our beloved town. By further examining each tile, you will learn the story behind it, view the images that inspired Hackl’s artwork and be connected with resources for further research.

This exhibition presents 25 yōkai works created by Minako Ota. Yōkai painting is an important genre in Japanese art with a long history. From Heian-period tales and medieval picture scrolls to Edo-period ukiyo-e, people have visualized, depicted and passed down stories of unseen beings.
