Planning meetings for the reinterpretation of the permanent collections of design and craft.

Materials that Make a Difference is a multiyear exhibition featuring the Museum's permanent collection that highlights the multiple historical, cultural, and aesthetic contexts for craft in the post-World War II era. This is the first permanent exhibition for the museum. The goals of the exhibition are to anchor the museum visit in a cohesive narrative and to introduce audiences to craft. The project will begin on 06/01/2020 and end on 5/31/2021
