Mission Statement

The Wolfsonian is a museum, library and research center that uses objects to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design, to explore what it means to be modern, and to tell the story of social, historical, and technological changes that have transformed our world. The collections comprise approximately 180,000 objects from the 1850s to the 1950s — the height of the Industrial Revolution through the aftermath of the Second World War — in a variety of media including furniture; industrial-design objects; works in glass, ceramics, and metal; rare books; periodicals; ephemera; works on paper; paintings; textiles; and medals.
