Newport Antiques Show Lecture; Big History, Little State: 375 Years in 50 Objects

From the combined collections of the Rhode Island Historical Society and
the Newport Historical Society–totaling of tens of thousands of
objects– how can anyone choose just 50? From the selection of major
themes to iconic artifacts, the curatorial process involves research,
discussion, and a variety of considerations. Rhode Island Historical
Society Director of Collections Kirsten Hammerstrom will discuss the
process she and her colleagues used in selecting artifacts for the
Newport Antique Show exhibition.
Admission to the show is $15 per person, $20 for a three day pass.  Please call (401) 846-2669 for more information
