Slated to open in
September, 2022, this exhibition gathers WRHS collections from
across the museum and archives for display in the Chisholm Halle
Costume Wing. It will include garments, decorative arts, archival
documents, photographs, and paintings that tell stories of triumph
and tragedy in Northeast Ohio. From the desegregation of the Girl
Scouts, to wartime struggles, to athletics and spiritual life, it
will delve into issues of race, class, and gender, the exhibit will
have a broad appeal. The exhibition will remain relevant by
addressing issues of discrimination, equality, and working people.
Its stories will feel particularly meaningful in this moment of
recognizing and honoring frontline
workers and the people that keep our country going.
