As we come together in the wake of the recent tragedy in Lewiston, we wish to express our appreciation to the Museum’s friends and patrons on campus and beyond. We are grateful to be part of a deeply supportive and resilient community. In coming days, weeks, months, and even years, we hope that the Museum can continue to be a place where we celebrate and benefit from the experience of human creativity, successful engagement with challenges, and personal connection with one another and with makers from a multitude of time periods and regions. As you engage with this issue of the E-Bulletin, please enjoy getting to know our remarkable student interns and learning more about a recent addition to the Museum’s collection.


We look forward to seeing you soon!
