Other information:
 A new exhibition at the DAR Museum showcases the beautiful artistry and marketing genius of Josiah Wedgwood which still thrives today, 250 years after he founded his famous ceramics company. "Wedgwood: 250 Years of Innovation and Artistry," which runs from October 3, 2009 – February 27, 2010, celebrates the 250th anniversary of Wedgwood and the remarkable story of discovery, vision, experimentation, industry and exquisite design.

Nearly 200 select items on display will illustrate the company’s unique history and manufacturing. All eras from 1759 to 2009 and the wide variety of clay bodies, designs and categories of items produced will be represented with objects from North American private, museum, and celebrity collectors such as Martha Stewart.

As part of the Wedgwood-250 Exhibition Committee, the DAR Museum collaborated with Wedgwood USA, Inc. and the Wedgwood Society of Washington, D.C. to curate one of the largest loan exhibitions in the Museum’s history. In addition to private lenders, the exhibition includes pieces from the DAR Museum collection as well as loaned items from the Smithsonian Museum of American History, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Birmingham Museum of Art among others.

This event is a museum event and expects 101-500 people.
