EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history from the 1970s - the bar counter from Muse Bar, the beloved home bar of Isaiah Muse. The creator of this unique and stylish piece remains unknown, but their craftsmanship is evident in every detail. The bar counter is adorned with padded red vinyl, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere for patrons. What truly sets it apart is the front surface, where "MR. MUSE" boldly stands out in large capital letters made of metal rivets secured through the vinyl and padding to the wooden base below. This clever technique gives the counter a slightly quilted appearance that adds to its charm. As an important artifact representing African American culture and heritage, this bar counter holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to Isaiah Muse's contribution to his community during an era marked by cultural change and social progress. Now housed within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this object offers visitors an educational glimpse into America's past. Its presence reminds us of how interior design can reflect personal identity while also shaping collective experiences. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time - immersed in an era when cocktail lounges were vibrant spaces for socializing and self-expression. Let us celebrate both Isaiah Muse's legacy as well as those unnamed artisans who left their mark on this remarkable piece of furniture at Muse Bar.
