Already home to an impressive art collection and a reconstructed Usonian house by Frank Lloyd Wright, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, in Bentonville, Arkansas, recently announced its acquisition of a Tiffany Studios stained-glass window. Commissioned by the Woodmen of the World in 1917, it originally resided in the organization’s headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1931, it was moved to a chapel in San Antonio, Texas, where it remained until Crystal Bridges acquired it. Following conservation, the window will be on view beginning in 2026, when the museum’s expansion will be completed.

Up in San Francisco at the Transamerica Pyramid Center, a show of work by the designing couple presented by the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity is on view through the fall. “Past as Prologue: The Last Decade of Furniture Design by Ray and Charles Eames (1968–1978)” includes archival materials and furniture not often accessible to the public. Down in Los Angeles County, where many residents are still recovering from the Palisades and Eaton fires, the Eames House has reopened for the first time since the fires started, six months ago, per Wallpaper.
