Luck and Lore
October 25, 2019 to November 1, 2020
The exhibition that explores the spiritual, the ceremonial, the seemingly impractical uses we have for money. Take a look at some of the transformed money, the replica money and the real money we’ve used for millennia to bring good fortune to ourselves and others.
Halloween at the Museum:
Nothing scary, just fun
October 26 and 27
