Introduction to the Centers

December 03, 2011 - March 04, 2012

Dorothy Alexander Roush Gallery

One of the key elements in GMOA’s expansion was the construction of its Study Centers in the Humanities, four named units containing archives that supplement the museum’s collection and promote hands-on research. This small exhibition serves as an introduction to the Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts and follows the introduction to its sister centers––the C.L. Morehead Jr. Center for the Study of American Art, the Jacob Burns Foundation Center (devoted to the study of prints and drawings) and the Pierre Daura Center––held this past August–November. A variety of objects accessioned over the past 40 years, including the first piece of furniture purchased by Green, as well as recent acquisitions of pottery and silver will be on view.
