09/25/2010 - Bringing Them Home: 150 Years of Restoring the Washington Collection

Sat, 25 Sep 2010 09:00:00 -0100

New Exhibition Opens at Mount Vernon 'Bringing Them Home: 150 Years of Restoring the Washington Collection'

February 13, 2010 - January 8, 2012

9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Donald W. Reynolds Museum

Beginning February 13, Historic Mount Vernon's F.M. Kirby Gallery in the Donald W. Reynolds Museum hosts a special new exhibition, Bringing Them Home: 150 Years of Restoring the Washington Collection. Organized in honor of the sesquicentennial of the opening of Mount Vernon to the public in 1860, Bringing Them Home celebrates the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association's remarkable 150-year pursuit of original Washington artifacts. These recently returned items-which include examples of fine and decorative arts, books, and manuscripts-enrich our understanding of George and Martha Washington's daily lives at Mount Vernon. Most items are being publicly exhibited for the first time, and many have not been at Mount Vernon since the Washingtons lived here. Bringing Them Home tells the incredible tale of how objects have returned-and continue to return-to Mount Vernon.

Included in regular admission.
