Description
|
The
Somerville
Museum is a showcase for the history, arts, and culture
of Somerville.
The Museum is the mirror of this city of 76,000, a learning
center for its school children, an exhibition and performance
space for its artists, and a meeting place for its diverse
populations. The Museum exhibitions draw creatively
on contemporary arts and crafts and elements of the
permanent collection of photographs, manuscripts and
documents, books, and artifacts of social history. The
Museum hosts a number of musical events, as well as
talks by scholars, activists, and artists. Non-profit.
