As a special holiday treat, make sure to visit MOHAI's popular miniature Hammons House from 1–3 pm during Greet the Season on November 25. The museum's Collection Manager Betsy Bruemmer and special guest Robert Sondheim, who served as caretaker of the Hammons House for many years, will be on hand to answer questions and offer behind-the-scenes insights about this remarkable miniature mansion.
Join members and friends for a preview of MOHAI's new exhibit, Seattle on the Spot: The Photographs of Al Smith. Be among the first to see this brilliantly expressive photography exhibit that chronicles 65 years of Seattle history, the Central District neighborhood, and the people who inspired Al Smith.
Seattle has always been a boom town, shaped as much by the gold rush of the 19th century as by the explosion of the tech industry today. Join editor Cali Kopczick and artist Shelly Leavens as they discuss their anthology Ghosts of Seattle Past, which seeks to reconstruct community hubs lost to growth through essays, interviews, photography, and comics. Bring your own stories of Seattle's long-gone places to be mapped and remembered!
