ALBANY >> The New York State Museum opened a new exhibit Nov. 16
featuring a selection of important New York state decorative and fine
arts artifacts that were recently donated to the museum by Peter
Wunsch, president of the Wunsch Americana Foundation.

The exhibit, “Building a Collection: E. Martin Wunsch and His Passion
for Collecting New York State Decorative Arts,” will be on display
through March 5, 2014. The museum’s Wunsch Collection consists of
furniture, paintings, silver, ceramics and folk art crafted primarily
between 1700 and 1900. The objects have labels indicating they were
made by New York craftsmen or have a documented New York history. The
Wunsch Collection illustrates changing stylistic trends in decorative
arts and provides insight into how New Yorkers once lived.
