To belong to a place is to become part of its story.

“At Home at Winterthur” explores the many lives of the estate, from working landscape to museum, garden, library, and center for study and conservation, through personal stories, rarely seen objects, and the generations of people who made this place what it is today.

An exhibition rooted in curiosity, connection, and the enduring idea of home. Now on view in the Galleries.
