The exhibition showcases over 40 objects from the museum collection engaging visitors with Art Deco design and the cultures that inspired it. Highlights include a stunning flapper-style gown, children’s toys, “mummy beads,” and more.

A digital StoryMap created by the State Historic Preservation Office offers an in-gallery tour of Art Deco architecture throughout the Gem State. From the Idaho State Museum’s original building façade to the Boundary County Courthouse, visitors will learn how to identify Art Deco in Idaho and understand its lasting influence on material culture across the globe. The Art of Deco runs through January 14, 2023.
