The Wolfsonian-FIU Fellowship Announcement

The Wolfsonian-Florida International University is a museum and research
center that promotes the examination of modern visual and material culture.
The Wolfsonian's fellowship program is intended to support research on the
museum's collection, generally for periods of three to four weeks. The
program is open to holders of master's or doctoral degrees, Ph.D.
candidates, and others who have a significant record of professional
achievement in relevant fields.

The focus of the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and European
decorative arts, propaganda, architecture, and industrial and graphic design
from the period 1885-1945. The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy,
and the Netherlands are the countries most extensively represented. There
are also smaller but significant collections of materials from a number of
other countries, including Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, the
former Soviet Union, and Hungary. The collection includes works on paper
(including posters, prints, and design drawings), furniture, paintings,
sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics, lighting and other appliances, and
many other kinds of objects. The Wolfsonian's library has approximately
50,000 rare books, periodicals, and ephemeral items.

Applicants are encouraged to discuss their project with the museum staff
prior to submission to ensure the relevance of their proposals to The
Wolfsonian's collection. For more information about The Wolfsonian and its
