The Driehaus Museum surveys Emma Stebbins’s marble, bronze and history-making sculptural career.

The Driehaus Museum examines Emma Stebbins as a major nineteenth-century American sculptor rather than reducing her career to a single famous work. Her years in Rome, marriage to actor Charlotte Cushman and inventive treatments of literary, biblical and industrial themes give the exhibition several rewarding paths through her work.

What to expect

Begin at the Driehaus Museum after the listed 11 AM start and move through a career-focused exhibition. The presentation covers Stebbins’s marble and bronze sculpture, her life in Rome and her approaches to literary, biblical and American industrial subjects.
