Home Decor: Cave to Castle
Monday - February, 13, 2012
A home is a building or structure that has the ability to be occupied for dwelling by human beings or other creatures. It could range from a rudimentary hut to a free standing structure. No matter what, it is a place to find security, comfort and familiarity. Studies have shown that ancient man created tools, had their own language and lived in complex social groups. They also decorated the walls of their caves as illustrated by the Lions from the Caves in France on the cover of this invitation.
As time has moved on, many types of architecture and decor have developed throughout the world, improvising and improving on what was achieved by those who came before them, creating changes that have impacted our lives. Interior design has developed as a part of the development of society and complex architecture. It has led to the effective use of space, user well-being and functional design.
Our guest speakers, Janet Monge, Ph.D., Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as Acting Curator-in-Charge and Keeper of Physical Anthropology at the Museum, and Barbara Eberlein, of Eberlein Design Consultants, Ltd., will incorporate items from the Museum's collections with design principles to demonstrate how the decorated home has always reflected status and distinction from ancient times to present day.
