This exhibition showcases the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw's collection of 19th-century watercolor drawings that meticulously detail the era's interior furnishings and document the social, cultural, and aesthetic development of European domestic life. The collection includes examples of English, German, Russian, Swiss, and Austrian domestic spaces. Selected objects from the museum's permanent collection complement the drawings.
