Even for the National Gallery, this exhibition covers a lot of territory, including furniture, jewelry, architectural pieces and ceramics, in addition to the more common paintings, sculptures and graphics. All of the pieces are connected to the fin-de-siecle era known as Art Nouveau. There will be a 15-minute educational film on view for the duration of the exhibition, highlighting some of the 350 pieces in the show, which include items from the 1900 Paris World’s Fair and an entire lunchroom designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
