On Friday, January 29, at 7 p.m., Silver Supper will be held in the Museum’s Chilton galleries and will honor collectors of decorative arts, Bradbury Dyer, III and Deborah and Ken Hamlett. Guests in black tie (optional) will enjoy a cocktail reception followed by a seated dinner. A highlight will be the displayed pieces of silver from the DMA’s collection on each table, a rare opportunity for patrons to closely view seldom seen masterpieces of the collection. Originally inspired by the DMA’s unmatched holdings of silver, the Silver Supper has raised more than $1,000,000 for the Decorative Arts Acquisition Fund. Silver Supper 2016 will continue our celebration of the Museum’s exceptional international collection of decorative arts and design.
