Guided by founder Electra Havemeyer Webb’s vision of Shelburne Museum as a “project varied and alive,” this exhibition celebrates the Museum’s vast and varied permanent collection. Objects ranging from the 19th to the mid-20th centuries will showcase the incredible depth and breadth of the Museum’s collection rooted in Mrs. Webb’s collecting legacy. A curatorial tour de force, objects on view include folk art paintings, circus posters, porcelain, textiles, toys, and trade signs—some beloved favorites, others not seen in decades.
