Join Curator of Historic Textiles Virginia Theerman for an exclusive preview tour of the objects going into the new permanent exhibit: Beyond the Ashes: The Lowcountry’s New Beginnings. Go behind the scenes in the Museum’s storeroom and get an up-close look at late 19th and early 20th century textiles currently not on view to the public. Learn about the major events that shaped Charleston’s past century as a city. Theerman will also discuss what it takes to prepare objects for permanent exhibition, and how to plan ahead for years to come.  Cool down on a hot summer evening in the temperature-controlled storeroom for this special, rarely offered, curator-led tour!

Enjoy light refreshments starting at 5:30 pm before the tour commences.
