Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique
Sunday,
October 19, 2008 - Sunday, January 18, 2009
Just over 100
years ago, three of history's greatest
designers, Peter Carl Fabergé in Russia,
Louis Comfort Tiffany in the United States,
and René Lalique in France, were engaged in
a spirited rivalry that drove each to attain
unsurpassed heights in the creation of
jewelry and luxury goods. In this opulent
exhibition, see their greatest masterworks
reunited for the first time since the
legendary 1900 world's fair in Paris.
Artistic Luxury offers a glimpse-through the
stunning creations of these three great
artists-into the world of the rich and
famous during the years leading up to the
First World War. Each designer was known for
his own characteristic style and
achievement, and the exhibition devotes a
separate gallery to each jeweler, recreating
the ambiance of the Paris world's fair.

Art of the Nativity
in the Manor House
November 8 – December 28 (closed on Mondays,
Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas)
This special exhibit explores cultural traditions and
the art form of this popular Christmas symbol. Most of
the nativity scenes are on loan from the Marian Library
of The University of Dayton. Art of the Nativity
features nativity scenes in many artistic styles and
made from a variety of materials, including fabric,
balata rubber, tile, straw, hardened bread dough, clay,
olive wood, rosewood, and thorn wood. The Marian Library
of the University of Dayton owns one of the most
extensive collections of nativities in the world.
From Fr. Johan Roten, SM, Director at the International
Marian Research Institute/ Marian Library, University of
Dayton:
“Re-creating the scene of Christ's birth is one of the
most tender and enduring Christmas traditions. Making
representations of the Nativity is a universally popular
art form which has flourished in Europe since the
sixteenth century. In every language, it is known for
its focal point, the crib of the Infant Jesus: creche in
France, Krippe in Germany, presepio in Italy, Belem in
Portugal, presebre in Spain, and nacimiento in Latin
America.”

musical, and now Legally Blonde The Musical is coming to

before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that
being true to yourself never goes out of style. After
