Dedicated to exploring the finest examples of craft and design, this distinctive museum by architect Steven Holl presents exhibitions of jewelry, calligraphy, furniture, clothing, glass, housewares and much more. Although the museum doesn't have a permanent collection, it hosts eight to 10 exhibitions a year. A program of lectures and events is offered in conjunction with the exhibition schedule. Now more than 60 years old, the Bellevue Arts & Crafts Fair calls the museum home and features over 300 outstanding artists and artisans annually. An engaging museum store features accessories, books, home accents and toys, all in keeping with the museum's commitment to the applied arts.
