Behind the Scenes

Whose Folk: an Exhibition at the Zadock Pratt Museum

Artist Cal Siegel walks us through the first exhibition of our 2024 season. "Whose Folk" features work by contemporary artist Cal Siegel in conversation with a curated selection of objects from the museum’s collection. Siegel’s sculptures and photographs – various ceramic and wooden forms, vessels, and wall hangings all refer back to historical architecture and objects with equal parts reverence, humor, and criticality. When displayed alongside historic objects from the Pratt homestead, visitors are asked to consider how the past informs the present.

Zadock Pratt's kitchen restored 2024

Board members Carole Cangelosi and Theresa Whitworth introduce the newly restored kitchen. This long-awaited restoration was an involved effort including donations and many volunteer hours from the community. The museum looks forward to being able to use the kitchen for future programming events like our annual Victorian Tea Party.
