Bruce Museum
One Museum Drive
February 13, 2010 – June 6, 2010
Drawn primarily from the extensive archival collections of The Meserve-Kunhardt Foundation, this exhibition will explore the rise and presidency of Abraham Lincoln on the human scale. Photographs from the period will be digitally enlarged to life-size and will be juxtaposed with the original photographs, glass negatives and daguerreotypes. Other objects on exhibition will further bring history to life including a Lincoln life mask, bronze sculptures, nineteenth-century ephemera, and Civil War artifacts. This exhibition is being organized by guest curator Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr., Assistant Director, The Meserve-Kunhardt Foundation, and Robin Garr, Director of Education, Bruce Museum. The exhibition is underwritten by Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust; New England Land Company, Ltd; a Committee of Honor co-chaired by Tom Clephane and Nat Day; and the Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund.
