Material Culture Exhibit Photos

Our 2023 season exhibit, Material Culture: Wood and Weaving, focused on folk art and music in our region. “Material culture” refers to the usage, construction, and traditions of objects of importance to a cultural group. The material culture of the Appalachian Forest National Heritage Area is heavily influenced by our forest landscape. Scroll through the photo galleries below to view displays from the exhibit.
