Woven Strands: The Art of Human Hair Work was a special exhibit at the Mütter Museum that ran from January 19, 2018 – September 16, 2018. These videos highlight the exhibition and the collections of the curators.
From six private collections, the Mütter Museum along with John Whitenight and Evan Michelson have assembled an exquisite group of hair art and jewelry as well as accompanying materials that discuss the social expectations of Victorian-era mourning rituals that ruled 19th century society with strict standards.
