“The Henry Luce III Center for the Study of American Culture & Slavery in New York” Exhibition
The New-York Historical Society
This event has ended.
In November 2000, with a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation, the Historical Society opened a state-of-the-art facility for its renowned fine and decorative arts collection. The Luce Center is located on the entire fourth floor in the Historical Society’s landmark building on Central Park West. Innovative in its design, the Luce Center safely houses and makes accessible more than 40,000 objects - representing museum collections amassed over 200 years - previously in offsite storage. Paintings, sculpture, furniture, tools for home and trade, Tiffany lamps, textiles, metals, ceramics and glass are displayed in visible storage, offering a unique behind-the-scenes museum experience for the visitor.
Information about this arsenal of Americana is delivered in a variety of ways, ranging from thematic audio tours to interactive computer kiosks and mini-exhibition stations.
