Two brand new exhibitions featuring items from the Kenneth Franzheim II Rare Books Room are now on view at the William R. Jenkins Architecture, Design, and Art Library.
On display in the first floor display vitrine there are several furniture catalogs by the iconic furniture company, Herman Miller. Some of the items on display include a brochure for the Eames lounge chair, modular seating catalog, a digital look into The Herman Collection (1955), and more.
Additionally in the Mezzanine display case there are six plates from 450 Años de Lucha: Homenaje al Pueblo Mexicano (1960) (450 Years of Struggle: Homage to the Mexican People ) published by the Taller de Gráfica Popular. The plates depict important moments and figures in Mexico’s history, such as Cuauhtémoc and Benito Juarez.
The new exhibitions will be on view until the end of the Fall semester.
