Boston Jewelry and Art Excursion

Apr 5–8, 2027

Overview

Join Jonathan Wahl, Director Emeritus of the 92NY Jewelry Center for a very special trip to explore arts in Boston.

Enjoy a private tour of the newly opened Jewelry Galleries at the Museum of Fine Arts with the Rita J. Kaplan and Susan B. Kaplan, Curator of Jewelry, Emily Stoehrer. Then explore the museum’s exhibition with a curator-led tour of Sesquicentennial exhibition drawing from their vast array of objects from their collection. The following day, go behind the scenes of one of Harvard University’s most famous treasures, the internationally acclaimed Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, better known as the “Glass Flowers.” This unique collection was made by Leopold (1822-1895) and Rudolf Blaschka (1857-1939), a father and son team of Czech glass artists. Over fifty years, from 1886 through 1936, the Blaschkas produced 4,300 glass models that represent 780 plant species. These objects hover between jewels and sculpture and are truly exquisite. Later that day get a bit more contemporary at the ICA Boston with their current exhibition and curator led tour. As time allows, we will also be visiting some of Boston’s best artists’ studios and performance venues, including North Bennet Street School.
