Temporary Exhibit Opens - "Woodworks"nuary - 2008
|
|
April 22
thru July 26

Things of Use and Beauty focuses on the handicraft of working in wood— both the hand tools themselves and the products of this craft. Displaying everything from a chest of drawers built from wood scraps salvaged at the World War II internment camp, to a 1860s Rosewood Concert Grand and carved feast dish of the Muckleshoot Indians, this exhibit celebrates the craft and art of woodworking. On display from April 22 through July 26.
