If you’ve been procrastinating to see some of the city’s best exhibits well here’s your last chance to catch these two favorites.
For their second exhibit the Driehaus Museum brought the stunning “Maker & Muse: Women and Early Twentieth Century Art Jewelry.” The exhibit not only explores the resistance against mass production brought on by the Industrial Revolution but the way women were an integral part of that handcrafted-jewelry movement. The museum highlights more than 250 ravishing items that include extremely intricate rings, pendants, necklaces, brooches, tiaras, and even cigarette holders.
