The Danbury Museum & Historical Society launched their latest exhibit, “Collections, Community, & Conversation...Continued," on Saturday, January 18, 2015.

The cases in Huntington Hall, the museum exhibit space, are filled with a wealth of interesting objects gleaned from the collections of individuals from The Greater Danbury area.  On display is an eclectic mix of objects including vintage bottle openers, robots, custard cups, Disney memorabilia, militaria, pottery, bells, buttons, kites and much more.

“Due to the popularity of last year's exhibit, we're pleased to once again offer this opportunity to enthusiastic collectors from The Greater Danbury area,” said Brigid Guertin, Executive Director of The Danbury Museum & Historical Society.” “It has proven to be a fun and exciting way to welcome the community to the museum and for individuals to share their items and passion for the art of collecting.”

The exhibit will be open to the public Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Collections will be on display through March 21, 2015.
