About the show:

The Zimmermans and Kalils were neighbors, colleagues, friends. They were also the trailblazing families who brought Frank Lloyd Wright to Manchester and helped envision a new definition of home.


This exhibition pulls together letters, photographs, and drawings from the Currier archives, offering a uniquely personal glimpse into the development of these architectural icons right here in Manchester.


Step into living history:


The Currier is the only museum in the country to steward two Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes open to the public via guided tours. Add a tour to your next museum visit.



What goes into the making of an archival exhibition? Justin Kedl, curator of Frank Lloyd Wright in Manchester: The Histories of the Zimmermans and Kalils, takes you behind the scenes of the exhibition.
