This exhibition, curated by Professor Joseph H. Larnerd and Director Lynn Clouser Waddell, will feature objects and photographs accompanied by interpretive labels written by students in Professor Larnerd’s "Visual Culture: Furniture" and "History of Modern Design" classes, students in Professor Seth Bruggeman’s “Material Culture for Historians” class at Temple University, and Drexel alumni.
