Description: The portrait miniature, one of the Worcester Art Museum's greatest strengths in American art, is paradoxically one of the smallest physical types of objects within its collections. Although not as large as easel paintings or sculptures, portrait miniatures do tell a "big" and important story in American art. This installation celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Museum's miniature milestone by featuring a selection of miniatures spanning the history of the medium, from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, by known and unknown artists, in a variety of styles. Rediscover the large impact of some of the Museum's small marvels.
