The public interest in astronomy, so often cited in this Colloquium, is demonstrated by the many works of art over the centuries with astronomical content. We mounted an exhibition, named Urania Observed after the muse of astronomy, at the Clark Art Institute to coincide with IAU Colloquium #105 on the Teaching of Astronomy and with the Sesquicentennial of the Hopkins Observatory. We thank Wayne Hammond of the Chapin Library for his expert assistance with this exhibition.
