September 9 – December 1, 2023 Best Seat In the House: Scale Models of the Avenir Museum Chair Collection
One of the best ways to learn about the history of interior design is to experience and recreate it. Students in the Spring 2023 course, INTD 359: The History of Interior Architecture and Design, researched and re-created a chair from the Avenir Museum interior design collection to better understand the limitations the designer had to address. This project resulted in 1/6th scale models of select originals from the museum collection of historic chairs – come see the models paired with the original seating that inspired the students.
Past Exhibitions in The Lucile E. Hawks Gallery
The Lucile E. Hawks Gallery has primarily featured the newest and most interesting acquisitions to the Avenir Museum’s permanent collection in an ongoing exhibit entitled “New Threads.” Past exhibits have also featured personal items from women employed at CSU, as well as an exhibition of Lucile Hawks’ exquisite miniature quilts.
