Click here to explore the Wisconsin Decorative Arts Database. Visit the project blog to read about recent fieldwork and the latest additions to the database.
The database and the exhibition would not have been possible without the extensive material legacy that has been collected, preserved and studied by Wisconsin institutions and individuals. Many thanks to the museum and historic site staff members and private individuals who so generously shared their collections and their expertise.
Many thanks to the lenders to the exhibition
