The Golden Age of Exploration

Joel and David Oppenheimer in their Gallery

The Joel Oppenheimer Gallery is the nation’s leading expert in natural history art from the 17th through 19th century.  This was a period of expeditions, voluminous libraries, explorers, naturalists, and gifted craftspeople.  Naturalists went to great lengths to procure specimens, create their vivid folios, and deliver these findings to their wealthy patrons and subscribers.

We invite you to travel back to this time with us an enjoy our tremendous collection of birds, plants, animals and more from this remarkable time.
