September 3, 2016 - January 1, 2017 - This exhibition will present ten pieces from the Walns’ original set all from the Museum’s collection in a new light after comprehensive research and conservation treatment.
The exhibition will offer new discoveries about the house and the team who created the furniture with Latrobe: cabinetmaker John Aitken, decorative painter George Bridport, and upholsterer John Rea. Demolished in 1847, the Waln house described as a grand mansion is known only through the furniture, a small watercolor, two fire insurance surveys, and a handful of descriptions.
