Holidays on Display
November 13, 2009 – September 30, 2010
This exhibition examines the art, industry, and history of holiday displays across the United States, primarily between the 1920s and the 1960s, at the height of their popularity. On view are photographs, postcards, and illustrations of parade floats and window displays—featuring Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and Marshall Field and Company's Christmas windows—as well as objects relating to the early creation of these displays.
