Family Workshop: Eliza's Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities

Free to members or with admission to the sculpture garden. Younger children should be accompanied by an adult.

Eliza’s Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities, artist Fo Wilson's installation on the grounds at Lynden, is a full-scale structure that is both slave cabin and cabinet of curiosities. It imagines what a 19th-century woman of African descent might have collected in her living quarters. Like Eliza, we will take a close look at our own collections and create our own mini cabinets of wonder in response to Eliza. We will have different materials on hand to help you build and enhance your tiny cabinet.
