opens February 11Celebrate Art of the Ti�any Era

The Ti�any family design legacy is celebrated in this

unique mix of exhibitions featuring Louis Comfort

Ti�any’s stained glass of the Art Nouveau era and a

rare collection of Ti�any & Co.’s decorative firearms.

Charles Lewis Ti�any established Ti�any & Co. in

1837; his son Louis Comfort Ti�any later founded

Ti�any Studios, renowned for its exquisite

decorative objects. bit.ly/ti�anyera

February 11 – May 20

Out of the Forest: Art Nouveau Lamps includes twenty exquisite lamps by

Ti�any Studios and other lamp manufacturers of the Art Nouveau era, all from

the private collection of Byron Vreeland.

In Company with Angels: Seven Rediscovered Ti�any Windows debuts seven

magnificent stained glass church windows by Ti�any Studios recently

salvaged after years in storage.

Ti�any & Co. Arms from the Collection of Robert M. Lee features the

finest-known collection of privately owned Ti�any & Co. arms—including fine

guns and a presentation sword—rivaled only by those on view in the Robert M.
