Vesterheim Magazine Vol. 11, No. 2 2013 – Norwegian By Design

Description

Vesterheim is published twice a year, featuring in-depth articles focusing on the museum’s priceless collections of artifacts, Norwegian-American history and culture, and up-to-date information on all museum events, classes, tours, and education opportunities.

Both Norway and Norwegian-Americans played major roles in the style revolutions that shook the first three-quarters of the twentieth century. Now Modernism and Mid-century Modern are all the rage once again. In this issue, we examine some of these trends and the people who were instrumental in creating them, and we take a closer look at how culture and history helped shape design.

The magazine is a benefit to Vesterheim members with extra copies for sale in the Museum Store. To ensure future issues are mailed directly to your door, join Vesterheim now at vesterheim.org.
