In May of 2009, the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History will open a new exhibition entitled Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes.
Presented in three iterations of 20-30 Navajo textiles each, the
exhibit will showcase the breadth and depth of the Museum's Joe Ben
Wheat Southwestern Textile Collection, considered to be one of the
world's best collections of Navajo textiles.
A full slate of public and school programming will accompany
the exhibit, including a grand opening event; hands-on workshops for
adults, parents and children; guided tours; movie showings featuring
movies with Navajo directors, producers, and actors; and programs and
demonstrations on natural dyes and textile conservation.

 | Americans In a Changing China: 1920-2008
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Documenting China, Contemporary Photography and Social Change is a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit.
The exhibit encompasses three eras of change in China, which is a
timely subject as China and its status on the international stage is
changing so rapidly. Apart from Hinkley’s experience abroad, the
exhibit also includes views of more recent change in China through an
exhibit on loan from Bates College Museum of Art and the Smithsonian
Institution Traveling Exhibition Service from April 11 to June 7, 2009.
It illustrates the country’s development during the past 25 years
through the lenses of seven Chinese photographers. For more information, please click here. |
