This exhibition of American Folk Art of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries included several unusual collections. The exhibition consisted of weather vanes of every description and form, cast iron banks, ceramics, furniture, duck decoys and more. One of the highlights, a painting by Grandma Moses, was a favorite with visitors. This exhibition was held in the Museum proper to complement the exhibition FOLK ART OF THE SOVIET UNION.
