Cultural Gallery ~ Boston College: The Arts and Crafts Movement: Making It Irish

We are happy to share this collection of images with you in honor of St. Patrick’s Day!!

These Images were taken when we attended Boston College’s McMullen Museum of Art Exhibit: The Arts and Crafts Movement: Making It Irish. The Boys and I went to this Exhibit around this time in 2016. We were so excited to see the different uses of artistic talent.

Please find the pieces we chose to photograph with some curating ~
