Head Trip: Around the World in Forty Hats May 16, 2007

'Head Trip: Around the World in Forty Hats' is an extraordinary exhibition that explores head coverings worn the world over to express status, religion and ritual and often simply for ornamentation. It explores the cultural purpose and intention of head coverings as well as the materials used to create them. Seeing these hats from many cultures show how people have used similar materials to symbolize both social and spiritual values.
