Artful Interiors: Rooms with a View
Edna Barnes Salomon Room (Third Floor)
November 16, 1996 through March 29, 1997

Items ranging from influential architectural source books of the 18th century to a 1928 Sears, Roebuck catalog present a panoramic historical survey of public and domestic interiors in Europe and America from 1750 to 1950. The social and psychological history of interior decoration is revealed through a chronological progression of design ideas, which indicate significant shifts in interior effects, from aristocratic presentations to the homely additions of modern conveniences.
