Baskets of the Day | #basketoftheday

1/6/2019

2 Comments

 
This week, we'll hear from Brittany Britton, the Registrar-Curator for the Nealis Hall Native American Collections. She'll be discussing sharing the collection through social media via the hashtag #basketoftheday 

The collections at the Clarke are large and wide ranging at times. Added to this is the limited exhibition area, we end up with artifacts that don’t get seen regularly or ever. For the last few weeks, Nealis Hall Registrar-Curator Brittany has been sharing videos, photos and information on some of the incredible baskets in the Nealis Hall Native American collection through the hashtag #BasketOfTheDay via our Instagram and Facebook stories. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see our collection up close and personal!

Brittany will select a basket or other artifact from the collection to highlight via video and photograph to get a full view of the object. The added benefit of this is a more indepth look, she picks up the basket, showing the inside, all sides and bottom of the basket. Opening lids to look inside when it is a closed vessel, and highlighting use of the object like the salt and pepper shakers from the Hailstone collection.

Here is a quick run through of some more recent #basketoftheday posts:
If there are baskets or items you’d like to see highlighted, please send us a message! We love hearing from visitors and what they get out of the #basketoftheday. We'll also be keeping you up to date on other behind the scenes moments and collection views through our Facebook and Instagram.

The collection includes baskets from cultures across North America and beyond, including those made by contemporary Native American artists. Some of these baskets are on display in Nealis Hall and others are available for viewing online through the Harvard Art Museums' collections database.
