Discover the finest Art Nouveau treasures in The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art, on view at The Long Island Museum from June 12 through September 21, 2025.
The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art brings together approximately 120 of the finest Art Nouveau treasures from the rich holdings of the Chrysler Museum of Art, drawing primarily from the collection of Walter P. and Jean Chrysler. The exhibition includes spectacular and important glass, furniture, paintings, and sculpture from artists and designers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Tiffany & Co., Gustav Klimt, Louis Majorelle, Alphonse Mucha, Emmanuel Lansyer, and Émile Gallé. The Triumph of Nature celebrates the florid, languorous curves, natural motifs, and refined elegance of Art Nouveau furniture, glass, and other works that have entranced generations of collectors and museumgoers since the apex of this brief but intense movement around the turn of the twentieth century.
LIM is part of a national tour of this exhibition, and is the only museum in New York State to host The Triumph of Nature. Showcasing the exhibition at the LIM also reinforces the Long Island connection between Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. and Long Island, where in 1923 the Chrysler family bought a summer estate which would ultimately become part of the campus of the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point.
