Puzzle Exhibition in Katonah NY USA

The Katonah Museum of Art will feature "The Art of the Puzzle: Astounding and Confounding" as its major exhibition for Fall 2000.

The displays will include over 300 mechanical puzzles and more than 100 jigsaw puzzles, to show the history and development of puzzles over three centuries and across countries. Ingenuity of design, beauty and craftsmanship, technology, and the relationship between puzzle creator and puzzle solver are important themes of the exhibit.

The two large galleries will also show how puzzles are used (in education as well as amusement) and how they reflect their social context. The puzzles on display are drawn primarily from the collections of Co-Curators Jerry Slocum and Anne Williams. They have published numerous books and articles about mechanical and jigsaw puzzles, and have collaborated to write the catalog for the exhibition.

The exhibition opens on October 15, 2000 and continues through January 7, 2001. On the weekend of November 11-12 the Association of Game & Puzzle Collectors is sponsoring a number of special puzzling events in conjunction with the exhibit, including a workshop on jigsaw puzzles. The weekend's events are open to the public, but prior registration is required.

The Katonah Museum of Art is on Route 22 at Jay Street in Katonah, NY. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday and Sunday. For further information telephone the Museum at +1-914-232-9555 or check the web site: www.katonah-museum.org
