Curator Talk | Framing American Democracy: Radical Roots

From commemorative souvenirs and relics made from the fabled Charter Oak to period textiles and historic jewelry, material culture offers a vivid picture of American life and patriotism in past centuries. Ned Lazaro, Associate Curator of Costume and Textiles, and Katie Tycz, Interim Richard Koopman Associate Curator of American Decorative Arts, reveal how these objects help us connect with the history of Connecticut and consider our state’s role in the pursuit of democracy.
