Foreign Exchange: 18th-Century Design on the Move

January 28, 2022 – September 25, 2022

Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
2 East 91st Street
New York, NY

Drawing from the permanent collection, this exhibition explores the unprecedented circulation of labor, skills, aesthetics, and luxury goods across international borders in the 18th century. It traces the movement of people, ideas, and objects across borders, challenging notions of foreign and domestic, community member and outcast, and national style.
