Upon entering, we were blown away by how detailed the museum is. Every inch of the home was thought out, and every design element was intentional including the woodwork, the tiles, the marble, and the wall coverings. As designers, it’s inspiring to see this amount of detail and intention. We were also impressed by the historic furnishings, many of which were done by the stained-glass master, Louis Comfort Tiffany, with numerous pieces from Richard Driehaus’ personal collection.

The Art of Seating exhibit was the main event, taking us through the evolution of seating design and showcasing how the design elements changed over time. It features chairs crafted by legendary designers George Hunzinger, the Herter Brothers, the Stickley Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Isamu Noguchi, and more. With such an impressive collection, we suggest that you go check it out for yourself! You’ll be amazed by how truly beautiful this museum is, but if you can’t see it personally, then enjoy some highlights from our tour below:
