Join the Porter County Museum and the Westchester Township History Museum, in partnership with the Field Museum, for a special opening celebration of
A Calumet Tapestry: Artistic Views of the Region, the third installment of the
Calumet Voices, National Stories exhibition series.
A Calumet Tapestry: Artistic Views of the Region presents the Calumet region through the eyes of regional artists. Explore selected artwork and historical artifacts which showcase the unique character of the Calumet region--a place of juxtapositions where nature, industry, and culture live uncommonly closely together. The exhibition also includes selections from the Northwest Indiana Steel Heritage Project and the Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University.
Calumet Voices, National Stories exhibitions give voice to the national significance of this unique region along the southern tip of Lake Michigan. Through the stories of selected objects and images, these exhibitions show how this landscape's natural resources made its transformation into an industrial powerhouse possible, and how thousands of diverse people came to call this region home in the process.
