Originally conceived of as a decorative arts collection, treasuring European works from the 18th century and earlier, Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collection has grown to span 30 centuries with works of both historical and contemporary design in both physical and digital forms. Sarah and Eleanor Hewitt sought to collect decorative arts, such as textiles, wallcoverings, furniture, and metalwork, and now Cooper Hewitt champions disciplines such as graphic and industrial design, as well as work focused on social justice and environmental sustainability.
