Scope and Content Note

From the Sub-Series:

Ella Schaap, Curatorial Associate, chose approximately 1500 Dutch tiles from the permanent collection for an exhibition designed to coincide with "Masters of Seventeenth-Century Dutch Genre Painting." The tiles date from 1570 to 1850 and represent one of the earliest forms of mass-produced interior decoration designed for middle class homes. The National Endowment for the Arts provided initial funding, and the exhibition was made possible by grants from The Mobil Corporation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and The Pew Memorial Trust.
