EXHIBITIONS

This Accessions series honors the new additions to our Permanent Collection throughout each calendar year. In the year 2024 we have accessioned over 170 pieces to our collection, each with their own story to tell. 

We proudly recognize Preston Jackson as our 38th Master Metalsmith. In Jackson’s words, the exhibition “reveals history that has been buried, forgotten, or deemed unimportant by society.”

Consider the permeable boundary between form and function with this exploration of decorative ironwork, ranging in date from historic to modern.
