Spend an Evening in the Living Room on Sept 14 |
|
The Kaufmanns hosted Albert Einstein and Frida Kahlo, among many others, in the Fallingwater living room for discussions that advanced ideas around architecture, art, design and nature. Through a new three-event, salon-style series, called Fallingwater Fireside, you can carry on the Kaufmann tradition and join intimate, in-person conversations in the living room. On Sept 14, meet Grammy Award-winning Cellist Mike Block, who will share how Frank Lloyd Wright inspired his music and composing philosophy. Join us for great music, engaging discussion and delicious fare! |

Fallingwater is the “Most Loved” U.S. Building |
|
Buildworld, a U.K. website, recently confirmed (what we sort of already knew): Fallingwater is the “most loved” building in the U.S.! Buildworld’s recent analysis of the “most loved” buildings in the world showed more than 65% of people shared positive tweets and high praise for Fallingwater’s design and architecture. This social acknowledgment of Fallingwater’s genius, beauty and importance is so appreciated. We’re pleased that Fallingwater, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, continues to inspire adoration! Experience the love, too! |

They’re back! In the summer of 2019, we launched our first limited-edition textile, named Ffenestr, created by London-based weaver Eleanor Pritchard. In the fall of 2020, we launched our second exclusive textile by Pritchard, named Carreg. Both were the result of Prichard’s visit to Fallingwater, where she drew inspiration from elements of the house. The textiles garnered much attention from visitors and collectors from around the world! We are pleased to announce that both Ffenestr and Carreg are available again for purchase only through the Fallingwater Museum Store. |
