- Art Deco Private Guided Tour: Offered May 22, 2024, through January 12, 2025, ONLY! This tour, best for those who have previously toured the Museum, offers a deeper dive into Kirkland Museum’s rich Art Deco collection. The Art Deco style flourished in the 1920s and 1930s as designers looked toward the future. In the Museum’s Art Deco Gallery 6, visitors can see examples from Western Europe as well as the United States. Go further in depth as you view the glamorous temporary exhibition Vanity & Vice: American Art Deco, which explores the dynamic designs that arose from the rebellious years of 1920–1933. This exhibition invites you into two distinct spaces occupied by a progressive Prohibition-era woman: her boudoir and a speakeasy.
