Just as many of us have recently emerged from full self-isolation and quarantine in the past few weeks, so have various FWMoA “treasures” left the vault for your viewing! As an institution that holds some 7,000 objects in trust for the public, our blog series “Treasures from the Vault” has worked to showcase more of these pieces, as we only have so much gallery space in which to exhibit our works of art.
As we move closer to our 100th Anniversary, however, FWMoA’s curators are making plans to showcase more of the permanent collection and, currently on view, are some of the “treasures” we have highlighted in the past. Whether it is the specific artwork we highlighted in our original post or other works by that specific artist on display, see if any of your favorites are now on view and visit FWMoA to see them up close and in person!
