Bethlehem by Design
Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts 427 North New Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18018
In honor of the 275th anniversary of Bethlehem PA, the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts presents a variety of artifacts and publications that demonstrate the development of the city of Bethlehem and the use of images of Bethlehem in decoration and design.
Bethlehem by Design immerses the visitor in 275 years of history within the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts. Using maps, diagrams, drawings, and models that trace Bethlehem’s development as a city, guests dive into the past and build connections to the present.
This interactive exhibition is great for adult map and city planning enthusiasts, children learning to find their place in the community, and those who are looking to learn a little more about our fascinating past.
Enjoy the “build your own city” area, mark your favorite places and record cherished memories on top of a Plexiglas-covered historic map of Bethlehem, and explore modern views of Bethlehem through the photography of John Kish IV, our current featured local artist. Find your way to the Kemerer Museum and share your memories of Bethlehem through the years.
The exhibition is included in Pass Into History museum admission. Members receive free admission. Call 1-800-360-TOUR with questions about how to visit.
