Description
Discourse about violence is an urgent civic need, but museums often sanitize controversy in exhibitions and avoid interpreting weapons from their collections. Join Milwaukee Public Museum's Anthropology Curator, Dawn Scher Thomae, for an overview of MPM’s past temporary exhibit, Weapons: Beyond the Blade, which explored the many meanings of weapons through innovation, history, and art.
