The Museum holds the largest and most comprehensive survey of wallcoverings in the country with over 10,000 examples. Twentieth-century wallcoverings are represented in papers designed by students at the Bauhaus in 1929 and by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956, and in such recent additions as Jhane Barnes's 1992 designs made with acrylic resin powders. The holdings also include sample books, printing blocks, and advertisements. The Wallcoverings Department is open to visitors by appointment.
Classes are welcome.
