Meet the man behind the design

Rush Jenkins has designed dozens of exhibitions and interiors, showcasing collections from Lulu Guinness, Michael Jackson and Bill Blass, among others. From his career as the director of design for Sotheby’s New York to owning his own design firm, Rush’s knowledge of art, architecture and landscape architecture has brought him international recognition as a designer.

On Feb. 28 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Jenkins will offer an inside look at how he incorporated the gardens of Rachel “Bunny” Mellon to showcase Jean Schlumberger’s jewelry in “Jewels of the Imagination.”

Jenkins’ 7 p.m. talk is free with museum admission.
