All the Pretty Houses (Exhibition)

Every house tells a story. These miniature domiciles, handmade in the 1930s by American artists under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) Museum Extension Project (MEP), were originally created as visual aids for schoolchildren. Each object represents its own special people, culture, and history.
