About the event
One of the first questions we hear when people learn about the scale of our collection—more than 10,000 artifacts—is this: “How did you get these?”

Adrian will share the stories, origins, and provenance of some of the remarkable artifacts on display, offering a rare glimpse into how this one-of-a-kind collection came together.
This is your chance to ask questions, hear the untold stories behind the objects, and take a deeper dive into the history that shaped our community.
