Katherine and Bianca from The Taming of the Shrew, by Thomas Heaphy
The Manhattan
Micromuseum of
Works on Paper

For our micromuseum's first two nanoshows, we're focusing on subversion and uncertainty. Six Drawings in Search of an Author follows the process of establishing authenticity. Proles on Paper looks at how the cheapness and flexibility of paper allows artists to portray not just the ruling class but ordinary people.

MMMWOP is a micromuseum, designed to close the distance between art and the viewer. The collection is small enough to look at carefully; housed in a home, where art traditionally lives; and shown to visitors by its collectors. An artwork isn't an immutable object but a story of interaction with people, so please look, read, send questions, and come visit.
