Curator Tours
October 4, 12:00 pm - 6:30 pm
A behind-the-scenes look at our current exhibitions
“The Matter of Memory” explores the ways that museums are the vessels of communal and individual memory along with how they consciously or unconsciously shape memory through what types of items are displayed and shared. Walk through the gallery with our museum curator and get a deeper understanding into some of the choices made in museum collections and exhibitions in both the past and present.
“Finishing Touches” highlights items from the collection that would add personality and individuality to the wearer’s outfit as well as demonstrate gender and class. Functional and fashionable, these pieces highlight accessories through the decades. Spend 30 minutes with our exhibition curator and make sure to ask about her “favorite” pieces.
“The Matter of Memory” Tours occur at 12:00 and 5:30 pm at 10 Middle Street.
“Finishing Touches” Tours take place at 2:00 pm and start at the John Paul Jones House.
This is a free tour, no registration required.
