Busy as a BCM Volunteer

Volunteers at Work

The museum doors are closed to visitors, but our volunteers and staff are hard at work getting the museum in tip-top shape for our reopening. There is so much behind-the-scenes work that goes into each and every one of our exhibits. We are so lucky here at BCM to have amazing volunteers that give their time to put up and take down each piece. Thank you to all of our volunteers, but especially those pictured here.

From Faith to Fashion:

The Role of the Bead

The Holiday Toy Trains have departed and we're clearing space for a new exhibit on one of the oldest art forms in existence - the art of beading. Ancient cultures and civilizations used beads as currency, religious symbols and works of art. American Indians and other cultures expressed their faith and illustrated their world using things such as quills, bones, shells or feathers and later glass. Today, beads are a connection to our past. Please join us on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2020 as we debut From Faith to Fashion: The Art of the Bead. The exhibit will run through May 10.

Beaucoup Beads

BCM Curator of Collections Jason French gives us a sneak peek at some pieces from our upcoming exhibit, "From Faith to Fashion: The Role of the Bead," including a fly swatter, a first-born blanket and a ration coupon bag. The exhibit will open Feb. 4, 2020.

Innovative Ignite Interns

A group of senior scholars from the Ignite Institute have been working collaboratively with BCM Curator of Collections Jason French on some exciting, innovative projects at BCM. Some of these include building a robot, an archives server to organize our collections and even a BCM video game taking place in our region during the Ice Age. "I like how much creative freedom we have," says student intern Hunter.

The seniors are studying the career pathways of computer science, biomedical science and engineering at Ignite Institute in Erlanger, KY. We are eager to see what their young minds will devise!
