A collaboration with Toledo Ballet, "Degas and the Dance" is an immersive experience, allowing visitors to learn about and interact with the work of the artist and his most prominent subject.

French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917) began studying dancers late in his career, yet ballet imagery (in sculpture, paintings, pastels, prints, and photography) constitutes more than half of his body of work. Degas was fixated on the ballet as a subject, especially the unrehearsed and unprompted movements of its dancers. "Degas and the Dance" juxtaposes the artist’s works with archival material and costumes pertaining to the development of Toledo’s own ballet company and its 75 years performing The Nutcracker. A ballet studio in the exhibition space welcomes visitors to watch scheduled rehearsals and to learn the art of ballet for themselves.
