Description:
On what was once the family estate, George W. Headley III, an accomplished jewelry designer, instituted (with his wife, Barbara Whitney) this museum dedicated to decorative arts. Encompassing such well-designed but functional objects as ceramics, textiles, and furniture, decorative arts are intended to be utilitarian but have exceptional beauty. Culled from collections around the world, exhibitions feature jewelry, quilts, pottery, teapots, shoes, silverware, and even picture frames. An amazing, well-respected museum that offers insight into history and culture through objects and use.
