Description
An exhibition that highlights masterpieces of Shaker furniture, and includes objects broadly representing Shaker life and Shaker style. Simply Shaker features nearly 75 objects comprised of furniture, household objects, tools and equipment, textiles, and graphics that embody Shaker simplicity and purity of design. America's oldest experiment in utopian, communal living, the United Society of Believers (Shakers) movement was founded by Ann Lee in the eighteenth century. The society reached its apogee of about 6,000 members just before the Civil War and then slowly went into decline. Yet the Shakers have lasted longer and gained more fame than any other utopian community this country has produced. Shaker design continues to influence architects, artists, furniture makers, and product designers around the world.
