The American Wing recently celebrated its 100th anniversary with a new more diverse installation of artworks. The extensive collection includes furniture, silver, glass and ceramics as well as paintings and sculpture. Works by notable artists such as Winslow Homer, J.M. Whistler, Frederick Cole, and Thomas Eakins are featured in the galleries. Our speaker will present a selection of lovely works from 75 galleries ranging from colonial times to the 20th century.
