"Temporality," the 2009 exhibit at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Kruger Gallery, will open March 30.

A portion of the exhibit includes designs by the winners of the third-year interior design studio project titled "Temporality: Historic Furniture/Modern Space." Using a selection of Kruger Collection pieces and a roombox shell, students connected the relationship between the historic furniture and the modern space that they defined.
