Seeing Ourselves Member Preview

Museum Members are invited to preview the new miSci exhibition Seeing Ourselves: From Selfie to Silhouette. The exhibit asks visitors to imagine not knowing the look of their own face. For most people throughout history, this was the rule rather than the exception. It was only through the development of technology that we reached the modern day, where seeing yourself is as simple as looking in a mirror or pushing a button. Seeing Ourselves takes guests on a journey through the development of portraiture, photography, mirrors, and more. It opens to the public on Saturday, November 13, 2021.
