While The New York Historical is filled with incredible works of art on every floor, one of its most prestigious exhibitions is their permanent collection of Tiffany lamps — one of the world’s largest and most encyclopedic. What's the backstory behind these incredible works of art by Tiffany Studios, and who were the talented designers and artisans who worked in anonymity to fulfill Tiffany's aesthetic vision? It's time to uncover the hidden history behind the one-of-a-kind lamps like never before.

Join New York Adventure Club and The New York Historical on a fascinating exploration of the rich artistry surrounding the museum's Tiffany lamp collection, from the intricate techniques that were required to create these masterpieces to the invaluable (though nearly forgotten) contributions of a team of talented women at Tiffany Studios.

Led by The New York Historical Docent Jeanne Pape, our virtual experience exploring the museum's Tiffany lamps collection will include:

• A brief origins story of Tiffany Studios and its founder, Louis C. Tiffany (1848-1933)
• A detailed look at many of the collection's masterpieces representing this elegant American art form
• The personal stories of head Glassmaking designer Clara Driscoll (1861–1944) and her team of “Tiffany Girls,” whose design contributions to the company's lamps, windows, and luxury objects were nearly forgotten by history
• Why the weekly salaries of designers from the Women’s Glass Cutting Department were on par with that of Tiffany's male designers in an age of serious wage gap inequality

Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Jeanne — any and all questions about the Tiffany lamp collection are welcomed and encouraged!
