A Family Affair: The Bell-Knights and the Creation of the American Museum

Quilt display and storage at the Museum

There are over 250 quilts in the collection at the American Museum. Displaying them in the space available is tricky. Several quilts dress the beds within our Period Rooms. We don’t, however, have enough beds for all of our quilts so another method of display needed to be found.
