The exhibit includes a wide variety of fascinating objects from nearly 30 collectors from across North Carolina, exploring not only the rich histories of the objects but also delving into the psychology of collecting, which is deeply entrenched in human nature. In the process, exhibit guests will be encouraged to uncover the collector in each of us.
The exhibit, chosen because of its wide-ranging appeal and lighthearted nature, will run from April 11 through the first of August.
