Challenging notions of how a museum typically displays its collection, The Living Room re-contextualizes objects from the Museum's collection within a contemporary domestic setting. The exhibition examines a cultural trend in which vintage garage sale finds, mid-century modern classics and craft mingle within the twenty-first century home, resulting in an eclectic mix of historical periods and "high" and "low" art. Periodic changes during the exhibition will highlight different object relationships, as well as the resurgent interest in mid-century modern design, ornamentation and eco-consciousness.
