Went to Cooper Hewitt this past Sunday for Tools of the Table exhibit -- found the overall organization of the exhibit a bit odd, but there are plenty of interesting pieces that make the showing well worth a visit.

Especially loved seeing my color/pattern Russel Wright plates on display in a museum!!!
