Art Nouveau: Age of Elegance 10/2/2025 11:00 AM - 1/11/2026 5:00 PM

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 14:39:47 GMT

Art Nouveau: Age of Elegance explores an influential art and design movement that emerged in the early 1900s. Art Nouveau, meaning “new art” in French, was a reaction against mass-produced goods and industrial design, aiming instead to bring beauty, craftsmanship, and artistic expression into everyday life.

Inspired by nature, the iconic style of Art Nouveau is known for its flowing curves, floral and plant motifs, and elegant, decorative patterns. It appeared across a wide range of art forms, including architecture, furniture, posters, glass, ceramics, and more, leaving a lasting impact on design around the world.

This exhibition brings the Art Nouveau era to life with a stunning collection of rare and decorative pieces, including original Mucha posters, rare Amphora ceramics, elegant furniture of the era, glowing Tiffany glass lamps and vases, Japanese prints, colorful French and Czech posters, bronze sculptures, paintings and drawings from the Gilded Age, and so much more!

In addition to preparing a legal will, FreeWill also offers tools to help you plan for situations where you may become unable to make decisions for yourself. Through the platform, you can create documents such as advanced healthcare directives and durable power of attorney forms, which allow you to name someone you trust to make medical or financial decisions on your behalf if you are ever incapacitated.

During this session, we’ll explain how the platform works, what documents you can create, and how these tools can help you and your family be prepared. You’ll also learn how you can include a gift that supports nonprofits or causes you care about. FreeWill is completely free to use, private, and designed to be simple even for first-time planners. Most people complete their documents in under an hour, depending on their personal situation.
