What Makes History Opening Day & Gallery Tour

This special exhibition explores what it means to make history through object collecting, preservation, and storytelling. Highlights include a sampling of the Museum’s vast collection of fans from around the world, beautifully painted fireplace bellows produced by free Black workers in Acton, MA, in the 19th century, as well as chairs, textiles, card cases, and timepieces. Many of these objects have never before been on view. At 11:00am and 2:00pm, Museum curators will lead a guided tour. No advanced registration required.
