Second Floor Gallery: Understanding Post's Legacy Information

The Russian Sacred Arts Gallery opened in the mansion in 2014. After ten years, it is time for a refresh. The newly designed Second Floor Gallery: Understanding Post’s Legacy features new displays and a new storyline inspired by Hillwood’s new publication, The Houses and Collections of Marjorie Merriweather Post: The Joy of It. The updated second floor gallery explores the history of Hillwood’s collection amassed by founder Marjorie Post and developed by the museum since its opening to the public on July 11, 1977.
