Museums

You are reading the forum of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers — people who build and study American period furniture.

Membership brings the whole forum, the annual journal and quarterly magazine, the members’ gallery and workbench, and chapters across the country. About membership

I attended the Ohio River Valley Chapter's visit to the Toledo Museum of Art. I never knew they had period furniture. What other Museums, especially in the mid west have period furniture? How about the Detroit Institute of Art?

Sam,

It might be a little far away for you, but there is a nice collection at the St. Louis Art Museum and also in the Nelson/Atkins Gallery of Art in Kansas City.

You might also think about Chipstone/Milwaukee Art Museum.  Go see as much as you can.  Cal
 

If this discussion was useful, there are twenty years of them here. Join SAPFM to take part — the forum, the journal, the magazine and the members’ gallery come with membership.
