Scholar Martin Eidelberg's gift of roughly 80 Art Nouveau ceramics from the 1880s–1910s goes on view — a concentrated look at how potters on the cusp of modernism started treating clay as sculpture rather than craft. Pieces from Rookwood, Sèvres, and lesser-known continental studios sit alongside each other in a room that rewards slow looking. Free with general admission.
