Richard H. Driehaus Museum

The museum serves as a public home for Richard Driehaus’s expansive collection of art and furnishings, reflecting the late banker and philanthropist’s passion for preservation. Today, the Driehaus Museum houses an expansive collection of Tiffany lamps and 19th-century decorative arts within the “Marble Palace”—the meticulously restored former home of liquor magnate Samuel M. Nickerson. More than just a gallery, the building itself stands as a stunning triumph of architectural preservation.

The museum engages the community through a lens of late 19th- and early 20th-century design, featuring diverse past exhibits like Wizard of Oz treasures alongside its signature Tiffany pieces. Because of its intimate scale, the museum is easily explored in an hour, yet its bygone-era charm makes it hard to leave.
