The Majolica Mania exhibition at the Walters Art Museum and the Bard Graduate Center has become another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic infecting the US. Originally scheduled to open the summer of 2020 at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore it has been postponed until 2021.

The show, which will be a major examination of majolica's influence on the decorative arts, will now open in the Bard Graduate Center in New York on January 16 2021 and run until May 16, 2021. It will then move to the Walters Art Museum in the summer of 2021.

The show advertises a group of 350 pieces from museums and collections in the US and England as well as a history of the rise and fall of the medium as decorative ware. The exhibition will be accompanied by a two volume catalog, Majolica Mania: Transatlantic Pottery in England and the United States published by the Yale University Press.
