Winterthur’s Dominy Clock Shop and Woodworking Shop are reconstructions of shops used by the Dominy family, four generations of craftsmen who worked in East Hampton, New York, from the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s. This collection provides a rare opportunity to glimpse a typical working environment of rural craftsmen active two centuries ago.

Treasures on Trial: The Art and Science of Detecting Fakes reveals the beguiling tales of over 40 forgeries and counterfeit objects of all types. This exhibitions questions: Do we see what we think we see? Is it real or fake?

This exhibition is on display in the Winterthur Galleries from April 1, 2017 to January 7, 2018.
