During your free day at the Museum, make sure to check out the newest exhibition “Lifelines—Forms and Themes of Art Nouveau.” Art Nouveau was an art phenomenon that found enthusiastic support virtually everywhere in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in America from roughly 1895 to 1915. It touched art and architecture, as well as ceramics, furniture, and the other decorative arts.
