Dutch Prints of Daily Life: A Recent Gift from the Collection of Wendell J. and Karen Van Lare

February 6 - July 10, 2016 - This exhibition shows the prints on display in this room are a recent gift made to The Dorsky Museum by the family of Wendell J. and Karen Van Lare. Donated largely for purposes of student research and education, they are displayed in their new home for the first time. The prints’ depictions of life in Holland also hold special meaning for the village of New Paltz, as it was originally part of New Netherland, a colonial province of the Seven United Netherlands located on the east coast of North America.
