Historic Talks in Historic
Buildings
Hosted by
Harriet Baskas
August 7
7:30 pm
(Doors at 7:00)
Join us as we host Harriet Baskas, author of Hidden Treasures: What Museums Can’t or Won’t Show You, for an exploration of museum curation across Washington State. Most museums display no more than 10% of their holdings, often citing “not enough space” as the reason. But there are also a wide range of cultural, philosophical, political, environmental, historic, and even superstitious reasons why museums keep some objects from public view. In this talk, explore a wide range of hidden objects found in the back rooms of museums in our state and around the country. Examples include a Spokane institution that holds Bing Crosby’s toupées and a museum in Lynden that’s home to a 150-year-old pickle. When possible, we will have local museum curators on hand to answer questions, participate in our discussions, and unbox a few hidden treasures. This event is a part of a lecture series hosted in partnership with Historic Seattle and Humanities Washington.
