Image Gallery

See scale models, furniture, newly discovered video footage, and more than thirty rare drawings never before seen by the public from nearly every project Frank Lloyd Wright designed. Because the celebrated architect allowed the latest available technologies, the building site, and the accessible local materials to drive each project, his designs could look radically different. This exhibition explores Wright’s seven decade career and the relevance of his principles to contemporary times.
