HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) - The State Museum of Pennslyvania has opened a new exhibit celebrating Fallingwater, the world-famous home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Fayette County.

"Seeing Fallingwater – Celebrating Pennsylvania’s Architectural Masterpiece" marks the 50th anniversary of Fallingwater's listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is an architectural model of the building commissioned in the 1980s for the Museum of Modern Art. Also available are a computer animation of Fallingwater and graphic panels to interpret the history of Fallingwater.

The exhibit will be open through January 5, 2025, in Brockerhoff Hall, Floor No. 1 in the museum located adjacent to the State Capitol in Harrisburg.

The home was designed by Wright in 1935 for Pittsburgh department store magnate Edgar J. Kaufmann and has since become a World Heritage Site designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.

In 1963, Edward Kaufman Jr. transferred the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
