History Underfoot
On view February 7, 2025 to June 1, 2025
This exhibition asks us to look down and consider the historic tile floors of Old Library. Designed by Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930), founder of the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works, these beautiful floors demonstrate an Americanist ideology that was commonly referenced in architecture and interior design of the late 19th and early 20th century. This ideology, as well as, many special details in these long-overlooked tiles, will be revealed in History Underfoot. Organized by Alexis White, PhD candidate, History of Art.
