These works from the museum's permanent collection have been in storage since 2005 when CMA closed for a $350 million expansion and renovation project. Works to be featured include world-renowned masterpieces from the museum's collections of European art from 1600-1800 and American art from 1700-1900, as well as the beloved Armor Court.
Tickets available now. 888.CMA.0033 Make plans to see: Artistic Luxury: Tiffany, Fabergé, Lalique
October 19, 2008 - January 18, 2009 This exhibition marks the first comparative study of three of the greatest jewelry and luxury goods designers at the turn of the 20th century: Peter Carl Fabergé, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and René Lalique. Their worlds collided in a rivalry of creative exuberance. The competition found its stage at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris. Each of the artists was linked by a common purpose: to provide the most luxurious and artistic creations to their clientele. Hours are Tuesday-Sunday 10:00 am-5:00 pm; Wednesday and Friday to 9:00 pm Closed Monday Photo Credits: Tiffany & Co. (American, 1837 - present), Paulding Farnham (American, 1859-1927), designer.
