Indianapolis is one of only two American cities to present this new exhibition. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London organized “The International Arts and Crafts Movement”. The movement emphasized individual craftsmanship and the integration of art into everyday life. It influenced art around the world starting in late nineteenth century. The exhibit includes ceramics, jewelry, furniture, painting, and stained glass from Britain, Europe, Japan and America. Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Gunther Stickley, William Morris and Tiffany are household names to admirers of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
