Gilmour Alum’s Museum of American Porcelain Art Featured on PBS Ideastream’s “Applause”
Earlier this fall, Richard Barone ’60 hosted an event at his Museum of American Porcelain Art for members of Gilmour’s Blue & Gray Society. The museum is the first in the country dedicated to American-made porcelain art. It is housed in the building that was recently home to the South Euclid branch of the Cuyahoga Public Library, and, before that, was the home of entrepreneur William Telling.
