Curator Talk: The Cheney Family: Local Trendsetters

Through their successful silk business in Manchester, Connecticut, the Cheney family brought global taste and style to turn-of-the century Hartford with their pursuit of fashion and artworks as markers of refinement. Join Erin Monroe, Krieble Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture, and Ned Lazaro, associate curator of costume and textiles, as they explore how the museum’s collections help tell the story of the Cheney influence on local culture. Meet outside the museum shop.
