This looks wonderful!This January 24, we are thrilled to present “Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated).” This prolific exhibit not only launches the Museum’s 2020/20+ Women @ NBMAA initiative, but also marks the debut of the Museum’s recent acquisition of Walker’s 2005 print series “Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated)”
Presented in a series of large-scale prints, “Kara Walker” considers experiences of racism towards African Americans that were only alluded to in historical representations of the Civil War.
Learn more about this exhibit, and our 2020/20+ Women @ NBMAA initiative on our website, www.nbmaa.org/2020.

New Podcast Ep!
We visit CT’s legendary Dirt Floor Recording & Production studio to talk to musician and Dirt Floor producer Eric Michael Lichter. Connecticut Public Radio’s John Dankowsky calls Dirt Floor “the Music Sanctuary of Connecticut”. Hear more about how Lichter uses old fashioned, hands-on musical instruments (some dating as far back as 1910) and recording methods to produce some of Connecticut’s most popular new musicians.
