  • The wait is over. Our doors are open! 🏛️✨

We’ve officially finished our remodel and we can’t wait for you to see the changes. More importantly, two of our favorite collections are back in the galleries:

👣 One Step Higher: A powerful look at five generations of a Black Ozark family.
📷 Capturing Time: A deep dive into the historic cameras that documented our region.

(P.S. Andrew Kilgore’s "Fayetteville Townfolk" fans: Hang tight! We’re putting the final touches on that exhibit and it will be back on the walls very soon.)

Which exhibit are you most excited to revisit? Let us know in the comments! 👇
