Design Within Reach pulled together a few exhibitions around the country (and even the world) you can visit to add a little more cultural richness to your life. Here are the shows in the Midwest:

• Illinois, Chicago History Museum, through Jan. 5
  “Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair”
• Missouri, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, through July 20
  “Edgar Degas Pastels “
• Michigan, Cranbrook Art Museum, through Oct. 13
  “Michigan Modern: Design that Shaped America”

Do you believe mid-century modernism was born in Michigan? If you don’t, think again, but this show just might prove you wrong.
