The Art of Coupling

 

View three centuries of Marblehead couples through images, ceramics, paintings and silhouettes. Learn the stories of Marblehead's husbands and wives. Follow fashion, painting and decorative styles through the centuries -- from the 1700s to the mid-20th century.

"This exhibit illustrates the strength of the Museum's collection.", says Curator of the Collections, Karen Mac Innis. "Many artifacts are given by family members who want these objects to come back to Marblehead, or remain in Town. It is a real delight to display these works."

Artists represented in the exhibition include W.T. Bartoll (1817-1859), Ariel Hall, and Gordon Stevenson (1895 - 1960).

 

The exhibition runs
February 14 - May 15, 2008
