Ongoing Virtual Exhibitions:
Playful Dining
An on-line exhibition originally scheduled to open April 30, 2024 but delayed until June 30 due to IMoDD’s relocation.
The exhibition is mostly about toy dish sets (some in their original boxes!) enjoyed by children of bygone eras, but adults had their own playful dining accessories that are included in this exhibition.

One Table Oodles of Dishes
A virtual exhibition presented by IMoDD that builds upon the premise of setting the same table, over and over, with a curated selection of beautifully designed dishes. It is left for the viewer to determine which place setting to select and to imagine what food might enhance the dining experience with each.
