The 52nd Antiques Show and Sale presented by the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts was another grand success! This event brings together exceptional dealers, timeless objects and a shared love of history with the people of Chattanooga. All proceeds from the show fund the mission to educate and inspire followers through art and design.
This year’s show arrived at a very meaningful time for this beloved museum. The historic 1890s Victorian house that has been home to this collection for many years is nearing the completion of a multi-million-dollar renovation.
The Antiques Show and Sale is more than a celebration of beautiful objects; it’s the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts’ most important fundraiser to support its education and outreach programs. Inspired by Anna Safley Houston’s belief that art and craftsmanship should be shared with everyone, the museum houses over 15,000 objects to create a meaningful learning experience for all ages. Proceeds from this weekend event support the museum’s education and outreach programs.
While construction was going on, a pop-up museum and gift shop was located in the former Back In Café near Hunter Art Museum. The Portera family generously provided the space, making it possible for the people of Chattanooga and visitors to the city to enjoy a mini museum. It closed March 1 in anticipation of the grand opening of the new structure later this summer.
