MARYHILL FROM HOME

We’ve added a Maryhill @Home page to our website, designed as a launching pad to explore Maryhill exhibitions, hands-on art activities, videos, workshop recordings and more. You will find 10 online exhibitions to explore and learn more about the museum’s collections.

DISCOVER: ENGAGING ACTIVITIES FOR THE CLASSROOM & HOME

Activities inspired by Maryhill’s collections and suited for school or home are now available for download on our website! Teachers can tie the lessons to state and national education benchmarks while parents may simply use them for art inspiration on a wintry day. Learn about Rodin, portraiture, chess and ekphrastic poetry. Activities are suitable (or can be adapted) for all ages.

Support for this initiative was provided by Judith A. Lackstrom and Robert E. Morrow.

COLLECTIONS CORNER

In the photo above, couturier Jeanne Lanvin (French, 1867–1946) and an assistant appear with a 1945 Théâtre de la Mode mannequin. Lanvin’s career as a couturier began in 1909, when she joined the Syndicat de la Couture. Many of her early designs were inspired by her daughter and made for children. She soon expanded into adult clothing and eventually created work for numerous high-profile clients.
