Art Deco Glass from the David Huchthausen Collection
Art Deco Glass from the Huchthausen Collection included early Twentieth century glass by iconic Art Deco studios such as René Lalique, Daum Frères, Pierre d'Avesn, Charles Schneider, Muller Frères, Marius-Ernest Sabino, Steuben Glass Works, and many others.
Huchthausen began actively collecting pieces from the Art Deco period in the early 1970s, starting with powder boxes. In 1973, Huchthausen acquired his first major work of art, a piece from the Le Verre Francais line designed by Charles Schneider, leading to the purchase of 20 more significant Art Deco works in glass over the next four years. Huchthausen's collection continued to grow during the 1980's and accelerated following his move to Seattle in 1989.
Art Deco Glass from the Huchthausen Collection included over 200 pieces from his personal collection, which is now composed of over 300 works of Art Deco glass, much of it by European designers.
Exhibit organized by Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA.

A New Moon Rises
A New Moon Rises, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian, features stunning large-scale photographs of the lunar surface captured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Cameras (LROC) between 2009 and 2015. The highly detailed photographs reveal a celestial neighbor that is surprisingly dynamic and full of grandeur and wonder.
A New Moon Rises features 51 large-scale and highly detailed photographs of the moon taken by the LROC between 2009 and 2015. These images reveal a dynamic place with impact craters, recent volcanic activity and a crust fractured by the shrinking of a still-cooling interior. The images provide unique views of the lunar surface that not only help answer questions about the moon's formation and evolution but reveal stunning land-forms both alien and familiar.
A New Moon Rises was created by the National Air and Space Museum and the Arizona State University, and is organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
