Nevada Museum of Art – Tiffany Exhibition

I had the pleasure of going to see the Tiffany Exhibition yesterday at our own Nevada Museum of Art.  How lucky we are to have this first class Museum in Reno.  In collaboration with the University of Nevada, Reno School of the Arts, the Museum presents a music performance series interpreting and responding musically to the 3 Tiffany era exhibitions on view through May 20th.

I saw 20 exquisite lamps  by Tiffany Studios and other lamp manufacturers of the Art Nouveau era. They are all from the collection of Dr. Byron Vreeland.  The colors are fantastic and the entire display is shown on a huge dragon fly  built with oak counter tops to show the lamps at their best. In Company with Angels; 7 rediscovered Tiffany Window are magnificent.  Found in an old barn after being stored there for years they were salvaged, cleaned and once again can be seen and enjoyed. The arms from the Robert M. Lee collection features the finest-known collection of privately owned Tiffany & Co. arms.
