House & Home presents an overview of architecture styles and living patterns that have been featured in American homes over the years. Quotes, toys, and other graphic advertising materials prompt visitors to think about the different ideas embodied in the words “house” and “home.” The exhibition also showcases domestic objects – from cooking utensils to telephones – and traces how household goods tell the stories of our family traditions, heritage, and the activity of daily living.
