Perspectives: Setting the Scene in American Folk Art June 5, 2010

The notion of "setting" is a theme that routinely emerges as educators at the museum work with visitors in the galleries. 'Perspectives: Setting the Scene in American Folk Art', the first exhibition organized by the museum's education department, has been shaped by the countless visitors who have come through the museum's doors over the years. This exhibition reveals the richness and diversity of American folk art in the long tradition of depicting places and provides snapshots of American life in different time periods.
