CHEEKWOOD MUSEUM TO HOUSE RENOWNED FABERGE COLLECTION

Imperial Napoleonic Egg

Nashville, TN – Cheekwood Museum of Art has been selected to house the Matilda Geddings Gray Foundation Collection, among the world’s most significant compilation of Fabergé pieces.  The exhibition will open in February 2007.  Harold H. “Spook” Stream, a long-time Nashvillian, has arranged for the Collection to be on loan to Cheekwood.  Mr. Stream is the great-nephew of the late Matilda Geddings Gray, who began collecting works by Fabergé in the early 1930s and who established the foundation to provide for their enjoyment by a broad segment of the public.
