Don’t miss our new art installation! Starting April 5th, the Meeting Room is hosting 36 exquisite handmade dolls. Each large doll is unique and wears a fabric dress and jewels that represent different European nationalities and styles primarily from the Renaissance period. The craftsmanship is a marvel. They will be on display until the end of May.
