Exhibition: Made For Love: Selections from the Jane Katcher Collection of Americana

A doll’s quilt inscribed with a tender lullaby, an ivory trinket carved by a sailor far from home, a portrait of a father and daughter—these and other captivating works of folk and decorative art from the 18th and 19th centuries are featured in Made for Love: Selections from the Jane Katcher Collection of Americana. The thematic exhibition, drawn from this important collection of American folk and decorative art, features 39 objects that contain expressions of affection between men and women, parents and children, students and teachers, and friends, examining the material symbols Americans used to express bonds of affection.
