Hear from the people that know the collection the best! This exhibition features a wide range of objects drawn entirely from the Museum’s collection, each selected by a staff member and accompanied by their individual commentary. Including an array of paintings, prints, historical objects, and more, Staff Favorites from the Mattatuck Collection brings old and new favorites out of storage. The descriptions written by staff members bring fresh perspectives to these objects and offer insight into each person’s unique interests and opinions.
