Into the Woods: Crafting Early American Furniture [2011-2012 Winter Hours]

Explore a dazzling array of masterworks by famous American cabinetmakers including Duncan Phyfe and Honoré Lannuier, Samuel McIntire, John and Thomas Seymour, and John Townsend.  Learn about antique furniture from the inside out, and gain a new understanding of the materials and craftsmanship that went into the creation of these spectacular objects through graphics, before-and-after views of conservation treatments, and innovative “exploded view” display techniques. Into the Woods also features a special changing section, which will debut with a feature on the design and construction of clockcases. Included with general admission.

Into the Woods was made possible by a grant from The Americana Foundation.
