At the Houston Museum’s Antiques Show and Sale.

This weekend, the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts here in Chattanooga once again hosts one of the premier antiques shows in the South.

The Antiques Show & Sale is on Saturday and Sunday at The Signal.

While the Museum has been under renovation, it has been operating out of a nearby pop-up space in the Bluff View Art District - and now, the completion of the renovation is around the corner.

Pam Reed is the museum’s executive director.
