20th-Century Design Gallery Opens!
THURS, MAY 21, 10 AM–8 PM
See twentieth-century design in full color, and celebrate the creative thought behind objects such as chairs, radios, and teapots. The objects in this gallery—from Brooks Stevens' Model for the "Zephyr Land-Yacht" to Eero Saarinen's "Womb" Chair—are arranged by color and highlight the individuality of each design, revealing how any object springs from several overlapping design ideas at once.
