Bohemian Chrysalis: Unveiling Cleveland's Infamous Kokoon Klub

Valid November 26, 2024 to March 2, 2025

Category: Museum Exhibits

In the first three decades of the twentieth century, Cleveland was gray and overcast, with steel mills and factories polluting and darkening the air. It was a conservative city as well, focused on labor and discipline where executives and factory workers dressed in dull, muted colors. But then came the Kokoon Klub in 1911, and its annual Ball, and Cleveland became colorful, expressive, and unrestrained, and one of the first places in the country to embrace modern art.
