Curator Tour of Everything Has a Story

Join Laura Vookles, Chair of the HRM’s Curatorial Department, for a unique look at how Everything Has a Story—our newly reimagined collection galleries—came to life. Vookles leads visitors through the exhibition and discusses how works such as Fairfield Porter’s October Interior and Paul Manship’s Diana became anchors to thematic grouping such as “Comforts of Home” and “Grace in Motion.” Vookles reveals the challenges, surprises, and insights that shaped this major curatorial project.
