Driehaus Museum opens 'Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade' exhibition | ChicagoNOW

Earlier this month, the Driehaus Museum opened Tiffany Lamps: Beyond the Shade, an exhibition illuminating the volume and breadth of Louis C. Tiffany’s vast artistic production. From the 1890s through the 1920s, Tiffany Studios created a captivating range of decorative lighting fixtures that embraced the technological shift from oil lamps to electricity. The exhibition will explore the broader context of the iconic lamps—from materials, to design considerations, and the business of Tiffany Studios—to uncover their enduring popularity today.
