Recent Acquisitions: Part II is the second installment of an exhibition that features recent gifts to the Morris Museum’s permanent collection. The exhibition showcases the diversity of the museum's art, science and history collections. Highlights include a Japanese kimono from the 1940s; Trees, the Great Swamp, a 1952 graphite drawing by Adolf Konrad; and a beaded dress from the 1920s. All of the artifacts on view were generously donated to the museum from 1999 through 2005. The museum is excited to share these diverse treasures with the public and to celebrate the donors who help the permanent collection continue to grow and thrive.
