Did you know that the vast majority of museums own far more art than they can ever display? In fact, most museums show only a small fraction of their entire collections EVER — and the Polk Museum of Art is no exception!

Curious about the hidden gems that stay locked away in our Collection Storage? Just wait for this LIVE program like no other!

You want weird? We have it. You want unique? We have that, too. Get ready for a rare glimpse into the Museum’s own cabinet of curiosities, and seize this novel opportunity to view select treasures and fascinating oddities otherwise hidden from public view.  

Join Dr. Alex Rich, Executive Director and Chief Curator, in conversation with Loren Hicks, Collections Manager and Registrar, as they chat LIVE with YOU and share some of the lesser known inhabitants of the Museum’s permanent art collection.

Have your questions handy for this interactive program, and join us LIVE on Zoom or Facebook Live Thursday, August 13th at 6pm!
