The Alfred M. Darlow Museum Gallery, or the "video room" as it is more commonly known, contains exhibits focusing on the clothing of indigenous peoples entitled Clothing, Textiles and Accessories - A Celebration of the Ingenuity and Creativity of the Eastern Woodland Indians. This exhibit displays not only the types of clothing worn by the Algonkian peoples centuries ago, but also the process by which these clothes were made. A video entitled Iron Axes for Beaver Pelts: First Encounters in Native Connecticut is also shown in this gallery. The gallery also features a rotating exhibit of Connecticut archaeological sites displaying artifacts from our collections. |
