Winterthur Institute is a two-week immersive learning experience that includes lecture-discussion, workshops, research opportunities, and access to the specialists, gardens, and historic architecture of Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.

Participants will be part of a select learning cohort that engages in daily, hands-on examination of Winterthur’s expansive collection, with contextualization in the history of American decorative arts, object materiality, and techniques of museum stewardship. Additionally, during Winterthur Institute participants have badged access to the Library and Archives to complete a research project.
