After a long year, the Gibbes Museum of Art is finally preparing to say goodbye to their exhibition A Return to the Grand Tour: Micromosaic Jewels from the Collection of Elizabeth Locke on January 10. The exhibition features 92 micromosaics from the private collection of the noted American jeweler. The intricately decorated plaques—incorporated into objects such as boxes, paperweights, and jewelry—fell out of fashion towards the end of the 19th century. Today, they can be hard to come by.
