Announcing The Metal Museum Collects

Opening Reception January 20th, Sunday 3pm-5pm

 

The Metal Museum is pleased to announce a complete reinstallation of our permanent collection.  Titled The Metal Museum Collects, the new installation features five exhibitions in expanded galleries. 

 

New galleries include:

Featuring large-scale work from a master of American silversmithing, created at a turning point in his career. This is the first time in almost 30 years that this monumental body of work has been on view.
