Join your NNORC friends for a visit to the Albany Institute of History and Art to see an special exhibition of historical bed covers before it leaves the area.
If you have a love for history, textiles, decorating and sewing, you won’t want to miss this special outing. The exhibition investigates the designs and patterns that decorate American bed covers of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. More than thirty bed covers and complementary objects such as illustrated books, paintings, ceramics, and botanical specimens reveal a variety of design sources used by American women and men to decorate their bedrooms.
Our tour will be lead by JFS staff member Jeannie Straussman, Program Director of Haven, who also serves as a docent at the Albany Institute. Jeannie is excited to share her knowledge of this exhibit with the NNORC.
