Saturday Is The Last Day To See A Unique Exhibition At The Art Museum

This Saturday, November 12th is the last day to view “Silver & Metalwork of the 20th Century: The Margo Grant Walsh Collection” at the University of Wyoming Art Museum. More than 185 silver and metal objects from retired interior designer Margo Grant Walsh's private collection are on display.

Walsh is a self-educated collector and began collecting silver from antique shows, flea markets and dealers.

Her exhibit features silver from Scandinavia, Great Britain, Mexico and the United States. The display also includes a more specific focus on Native American work from the southwest U.S. and Mexico. A common theme in the display is that of showcasing work from a wide range of geographic regions, craftsmanship, intricacy and the detail of of each of the works.
