Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures From the Driehaus Collection, sponsored by Arconic, US Bank, Xenotronics, MidAmerican Energy, Schafer Interiors, Jumer’s, John Gardner and Cathy Weideman, features 62 works created by Tiffany’s studios. “These priceless pieces won’t be seen again in the Quad Cities in the foreseeable future,” said Executive Director Tim Schiffer. “In honor of Mother’s Day, national Art Museum Day, and in recognition of the generous sponsors who have made the exhibition possible, we are offering free admission for the final ten days. We hope the gift of art will help heal and inspire our community after this year’s harsh winter and devastating flood.”
From small blown glass vases to breathtaking stained-glass windows and a spectacular selection of lamps, the exhibition demonstrates the craftsmanship and inventiveness of Tiffany artisans.
This free admission period will end on May 19. Visitors may park on the Figge Plaza, the parking garage located at 2nd and Harrison or street parking is also available.
