Permanent Exhibition
Objects and Their Stories is more than a new exhibition; the show represents a forward-thinking reimagining of the museum experience. The 5,000 sq ft exhibition will remain on view long term like a permanent exhibition but will exist in a state of perpetual renewal. Visitors will enjoy more of the museum’s extensive collection than ever before as objects rotate into the galleries from object storage, illuminating fascinating new stories with every transition.
Museum favorites including Pahat – the ancient Egyptian mummy of a Min priest – and a 9-foot plaster reproduction of Nike of Samothrace will remain a constant presence, helping guests explore different concepts and ideas over time.
