Laura Cunningham, Nichols House Museum Programs & Collections Coordinator, will give a tour of the exhibition she curated, “Their Objects, Their Stories: The Nichols Women As Collectors, 1970-1960” at the Nichols House Museum in Beacon Hill August 23rd. Cunningham will give her insider perspective on the exhibition, honoring two decades of Nichols Women and the objects they collected.

“Their Objects, Their Stories celebrates Elizabeth and Rose Nichols for their autonomy and individualism in what they chose to collect, and how their respective collecting practices were in step with the aspirations of the Gilded Age and the women’s rights movement of the early twentieth century.”
