Objects Are Complicated Too

Synopsis

Does a waning of the Colonial Revival explain the widening disconnect between museum objects and contemporary values? This session explores ways we have traditionally valued objects for the privileged stories they tell and how we can mobilize those same objects to convey a complete, inclusive past. Chair: Laura C. Keim, Senton Museum, Philadelphia, PA; Jessie MacLeod, George Washington's Mount Vernon, Mount Vernon, VA; David B. Voelkel, The Valentine Museum, Richmond, VA
