DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum

DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, also known as the DeWitt Wallace Gallery, is located in Williamsburg, Virginia, and is one of Colonial Williamsburg's attractions. It is named for DeWitt Wallace (1889–1981), who was co founder of ''Reader's Digest'' magazine with his wife Lila (1889–1984). After enjoying the restored colonial capital for over 50 years as visitors, the Wallaces became major benefactors of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation late in their lives.
== Collection and facilities ==
The museum features an extensive collection of American and British antiques. Included are furniture, metals, ceramics, glass, paintings, prints, firearms, and textiles from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.〔(DeWitt Wallace Gallery - Williamsburg , VA | Away.com )〕 The collections join other Williamsburg offerings of art and antiques displayed at dozens of historic buildings, as well as the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, and Bassett Hall.〔(The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum )〕
At the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, the Hennage Auditorium is utilized to offer lectures and musical performances. The museum is located adjacent to the Public Hospital of 1773, which commemorates the first mental health facility in the Colony of Virginia, soon to become the United States.〔
The work of the Public Hospital continues at the Commonwealth of Virginia's Eastern State Hospital, now located nearby in James City County just outside Williamsburg.
