The Wolfsonian's collection is very focused on time mainly the height of the Industrial Revolution through the aftermath of the Second World War. The museum has a large collection of different media to demonstrate its timeless collection, such as furniture; industrial-design objects; works in glass, ceramics, and metal; rare books; periodicals; ephemera; works on paper; paintings; textiles; and medals. In the propaganda area they had a lot of old posters with strong WWII connections. The posters were displayed on plain wooden frames that allowed you to only focus o the frame, also the frame balanced out that negative vibe that the poster gave off. Throughout the Art and design in the modern age exhibit, there were a lo of pieces of furniture that you don't really see to this day.
For the museum I went with my friend Adriana, and I enjoyed the museum, its fun when you go with people you know. We both worked on our assignment and commented on many of the pieces of artwork. The museum was kind of empty and I found that more enjoyable than when there are many of people around.
