Conservation, 1981-1983

This exhibition of Pennsylvania German art featured 333 objects, including ceramics, glass, furniture, metalwork, costumes, textiles, paintings, fraktur, and imprints. In order to support such an extensive display, the museum received grants from The Pew Memorial Trust; The Mabel Pew Myrin Trust; the Du Pont Company; and the National Endowment for the Arts, Federal agencies. Additional contributions were made by the Women's Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Campbell Soup Fund, and two slidetapes were supported by grants from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the Delaware Humanities Forum.
