The Cleveland Museum of Art Special Exhibitions The Arts and Crafts Movement in Europe and America


The Arts & Crafts Movement in Europe and America:
Design for the Modern World
Oct. 16, 2005, to Jan. 8, 2006

This groundbreaking exhibition, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is the first to demonstrate the significance of the widespread international Arts and Crafts movement of Europe and the United States.

The exhibition includes more than 300 influential objects created in all media between 1880 and 1920. From ceramic and metalwork to textiles and works on paper, this exhibition demonstrates the evolution of the object and the way that the object affected one's life during this period of time, advancing the dawn of the modern age.

All of the objects in the exhibition are explored through the three recurring themes of the time, Art and Industry, Design and National Identity, and Arts and Life.
