The works come from private collections, art galleries, and artist studios – all come with a desire to be shared with the Museum’s visitors.

This group includes two small ancient Egyptian bronze figures; old master prints; works by 20th century masters of Haitian art; Asian ceramics; American and European decorative arts, paintings, works on paper; folk art; glass; video; works by visiting Gropius workshop artists; and artists of this region. |
