In honor of our 40th anniversary, every week this year we are highlighting one
of our past exhibitions. In 2013, we presented “Souvenirs: Tokens of Travel,” which featured objects found in souvenir shops around the world. from the nineteenth century to the present. Sailors’ valentines, transfer ware, ruby-stained glass, heraldic china, and even ashtrays, were a few of the many souvenirs on display, some of which viewers may recall collecting during their own excursions. Do you remember this exhibition?
“Souvenirs: Tokens of Travel” is online at: https://bit.ly/3jUgKpQ
