The
Wolfsonian–Florida International University is a museum and research center
that promotes the examination of modern visual and material culture. The focus
of the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and European decorative arts,
propaganda, architecture, and industrial and graphic design from the period
1885-1945. The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the
Netherlands are the countries most extensively represented. There are also
smaller but significant holdings from a number of other countries, including
Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, the former Soviet Union, and Hungary.
The collection includes works on paper (including posters, prints and design
drawings), furniture, paintings, sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics, lighting
and other appliances, and many other kinds of objects. The Wolfsonian’s library
has approximately 50,000 rare books, periodicals, and ephemeral items.
Fellowships
are intended to support full-time research, generally for a period of three to
five weeks. The program is open to holders of master’s or doctoral degrees,
Ph.D. candidates, and to others who have a significant record of professional
achievement in relevant fields. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their
project with the Fellowship Coordinator prior to submission to ensure the
relevance of their proposals to the Wolfsonian’s collection. For more

academic year.
