The International Museum of Dinnerware Design’s Fourth Biennial Invitational and Juried exhibition, Breakfast, is all about celebrating the first meal of the day. In addition to work by contemporary artists, historic works from the IMoDD permanent collection will be seamlessly woven throughout the exhibition. Due to the pandemic, the exhibition will open virtually on April 10th and will be available via Facebook and our website that day.
At that time, visitors will be welcome to view the exhibition catalogue, photographs, and videos of the exhibition on line. Artist prizes will be announced at the virtual opening. Guests can plan to view the exhibition in person when it is safe to do so following common sense and state guidelines and procedures.
When the Museum is physically open to the public, hours are weekends noon-4 p.m. Special tours are welcome by contacting the Museum on Main Street or emailing the exhibition curator.. An in-person closing reception is scheduled for Saturday, August 21st, 2-4 p.m.

This exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Washtenaw County Road Commission. The story was written by Grace Shackman and first appeared in the September issue of the Ann Arbor Observer. Her words are also on the exhibit panels illustrated with photographs from the Commission, the Ann Arbor District Library, and the Bentley Historical Library. The road commission provided the tools, lights, artifacts, photographs, hard hats, maps, and equipment. The Washtenaw County Historical Society was happy to host and design the exhibit, contribute artifacts from our collection and collaborate with the WCRC to create this fun and family-friendly experience.
We take a look at the passage of the 19th amendment through the lens of historic events, video,photographs, first person accounts, documents and letters.
