The 'In Wood' display presents aspects of Winterthur's world-renowned furniture collection. A cabinetmaker's chest of tools, samples of raw materials and designers' pattern books introduce the visitor to the techniques and taste choices that were part of the cabinetmaking process. A wall of chairs dating from the 1750s to the 1850s illustrates both regional and chronological developments in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. An area devoted to changing displays ensures that visitors benefit from current research projects and learn something new on every visit.
