Museum seeks loan of 1930s objects
The next large exhibit planned for the Hattie Weber Museum of Davis will feature Davis in the 1930s, the decade before World War II changed the town, the country and the world.
Many news reports from the era will be featured; museum volunteers also would like to give visitors a glimpse of what life was like then.
“The museum is asking Davis residents to lend small items from the era for display in our cases,” says exhibit coordinator Mary Lee Thomson. “Books, record players, small household appliances, kitchen tools, fashion accessories (fox scarves anyone?), china, silver, toys, etc., would augment the exhibit wonderfully.”
If you have an object you’d be willing to lend to the museum, drop by or call between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wednesdays or Saturdays — at 445 C St. or (530) 758-5637 — or contact Thomson at [email protected] or (530) 756-0517.
The ’30s exhibit will replace Phase II of “Davis Industry: Windmills to Robotics.” The change will take place by Jan. 21, so there is still time to check out the industry exhibit.
Another exhibit under development will be “Public Art in Davis,” a collection of color photographs of the surprising number of such works in our town.
Museum admission is free, but donations are accepted with gratitude. Children are welcome.
