Cabinet of Curiosities
The Old State House Museum’s “Cabinet of Curiosities; Treasures from the University of Arkansas Museum Collection,” will be on exhibit now until December 31 at the museum at 300 West Markham Street. It is free and open to the public.
“Cabinet of Curiosities” shows a diverse collection that ranges from dinosaur bones to Ming Dynasty pottery to a machine gun taken from Bonnie and Clyde’s car. The University of Arkansas Museum closed to the public in 2003, and this exhibit will be the first time many of these artifacts will have been on display since the closing.
“We’re very excited to have this seldom-seen collection at the Old State House Museum,” Bill Gatewood, Old State House Museum director, said. “It’s a great opportunity to show how collecting and preserving artifacts gives history a new life and kick starts the imagination of viewers, particularly first-time museum visitors.”
