Our Favorite Things

In 2014, we asked ten students to tell us in 100 words or less about their favorite object on display and why they chose it. In 2016 we repeated the project and gave it the title “Our Favorite Things.” In addition to students, we asked Kelsey Museum staff and affiliates to chime in. The response was so positive that we’ve decided to continue to ask the Kelsey community to tell us about their “Favorite Things.”

We invite you to explore some of “Our Favorite Things” chosen by some of our favorite people. Rack cards available in the galleries and at the museum entrances will help you find the objects, and special labels next to the objects themselves explain in the contributors’ own words their personal connection to the piece. Each installment of “Our Favorite Things” will also be archived here on the Kelsey website.

We hope you enjoy learning more about the Kelsey’s collections, and we invite you to share your favorite objects with us.
