Visiting with the Ancestors: the Blackfoot Shirts Project

Add to calendar: Google | Outlook | iCal | Yahoo!

What happens when museum objects go home for a visit? The Blackfoot shirts at PRM, collected in 1841, express Blackfoot culture and beliefs. In 2010, PRM staff took them home to Canada for a visit so that Blackfoot people could learn from them and strengthen cultural knowledge and identity. Blackfoot people were delighted to see these important heritage items and were inspired by them. The exhibition includes three of the shirts and quotes and photographs from the reunions with Blackfoot people.
Open Tue-Sun 10-4.30pm, Mon (and bank hols) 12-4.30pm. Free admission - donations welcomed.
