From the Collection: Captivating Views

This winter the Museum is exhibiting art in its collection. Photographs that capture Flushing and environs – local places that caught the artist’s eye are on view.  Setting out with camera in hand - the gathered images portray area landscapes. Each of these photographs were part of solo exhibitions held at the Museum in prior years.

Work by Herb Bardavid, Carlos Esguerra, Trudi Fritschi, Norma Gerber, Greta Jaklitsch, and Alexander Meshibovsky are on view.












Online exhibition:

Finding the Family: A Look into the Lives and Times of the Voelker-Orth Family

Finding the Family explores the lives of the Voelker Orth family through the local and historical happenings they experienced. The online exhibition highlights moments in the lives of Conrad, Theresa, and Elisabetha as we follow three generations of the family through the early 20th century.

The exhibition is organized by Carine Norvez, a tour guide at the Museum. She developed the exhibition while she was a CUNY Culture Corps intern studying items in our archive last year. Ms. Norvez has located period news articles and materials from a variety of sources to create a context for the papers and images left to the Museum. An audio text version accompanies the print.
