Libraries Galleries and Collections Membership
 Something is always changing in the Keller Gallery, our temporary exhibition space! We create 3 or 4 exhibitions a year, mostly focused on the museum's extensive artifact collection. We also host traveling exhibitions from the Smithsonian and other institutions. 

Exhibit opening receptions are usually held on a Friday night from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and are free.  Check back often to see what's new and what's coming up!
