SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museum Studies Program\, Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:Natural history museums occupy a unique space in the world of museology\, often facing challenges from both a humanities and scientific perspective. Much of their controversy stems from the very fact that the primary “items” stored and displayed in these museums were once living organisms. Because most natural history museums are associated with large research collections and universities\, they often house thousands (if not millions) of specimens. Tasked with the burden of accurately representing biodiversity\, history\, climate\, evolution\, and humanity’s role in all of these\, natural history collections are continuously undergoing physical and organizational changes to meet these ever-changing fields. \n\nHowever\, the wealth of knowledge and recent advances in museum-based scientific techniques (CT-scanning\, museomics\, etc.) provide a world of inspiring and innovative new ways to use these collections. These methods are especially important when examining historically-significant and rare museum specimens\, as each organism in these collections represent a unique snapshot of a place and time that cannot be replicated. \n\nIn this talk\, Hayley Crowell ((PhD Candidate\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) will use the Natural History Museum of Denmark as a case study to discuss these issues from both a historic and modern perspective\, starting from its early origins as one of Europe’s first Kunstkammer (“Cabinet of Curiosities”) to its current role as a leading research institute in Europe. Along the way\, I will also share a series of anecdotes about the bizarre and surprising adventures that come with working in an early zoological collection.
