Exhibits

On view at the Museum:
Chairevolution! 300 Years of Designing the Chair,
Take a look at how design has evolved over 300 years with an examination of a single object: the chair.

Embarrassment of Riches: Picturing Global Wealth,
Within these new conditions, money has flooded emerging markets; economic powers have dramatically risen and fallen; and accelerated growth and once unimaginable political partnerships have emerged. How have photographers pictured and examined the new economy? This leads to other provocative questions for audiences to consider, such as, what does wealth look like in different cultural situations and, more generally, in our age?
