Curators' Choice: Favorites From the Collection August 23, 2011

'Curators' Choice: Favorites from the Collection' is a selection of the staff's pick of objects from the Museum and Library holdings. Staff members chose the nearly 150 objects on view for different reasons: aesthetic, intellectual, and emotional. Some admired the craftsmanship, while others were attracted to the story about a specific event in American history. Remembrances of family, or items simply thought humorous also guided the staff's choices.
