This tour of Carnegie Museum of Art’s exhibition Aluminum by Design: Jewelry to Jets tells the fascinating story of aluminum through an extraordinary array of objects, ranging from rare and precious jewelry produced in the 19th century to the popular folding lawn chair. The seven-part tour begins with aluminum’s introduction to the public at the 1855 Paris Exposition, where the metal was heralded as "silver from clay" and regarded as a scientific marvel, and ends with "Crossing Boundaries," a survey of aluminum’s multifaceted role in the design world today, from furniture to high fashion and domestic robots.
