# Event Details - **Event Name**: Telling Tales with Objects: Inside the Curator's World - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Behind the Scenes of Being a Curator REGISTER HERE: https://ruthmere.networkforgood.com/events/100419-speciality-tour-telling-tales-with-objects-inside-the-curator-s-world $15 for Members; $25 for Non-Members Step behind the scenes at Havilah Beardsley House and discover what it really takes to be a museum curator. In this lively, hands-on -hour and a half experience, you won’t just tour the museum - you’ll become part of the team. We all collect things for a reason. The objects we keep help tell the story of who we are - and museums do the very same thing. But who decides what stories get told? That’s where you come in. As you step into the world of curation alongside the experts at Ruthmere Museum Campus, you’ll explore every step of the process - from acquisition to exhibition - and discover that a curator’s role is far more dynamic (and surprising) than you might expect. Slip on your curator gloves and put your instincts to the test as you evaluate mysterious artifacts, deciding what belongs in the collection - and what doesn’t. Try your hand at cataloging real objects, decoding historic photographs, and examining beautifully preserved 19th-century spaces like the East Gallery, 1850s Bedroom, and Dining Room. Along the way, you’ll uncover the hidden stories behind everyday items - even solving the mystery of a surprising family heirloom. Expect hands-on challenges, lively conversation, and plenty of “aha!” moments as you learn how museums protect, preserve, and transform objects into powerful storytellers. You’ll even gain insight into how to care for your own personal collections at home. This isn’t just a behind-the-scenes tour - it’s an invitation to see history differently. By the end, you won’t just understand how museums work - you’ll never look at a photograph, a painting, or even your own keepsakes the same way again. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/elkhart/telling-tales-with-objects-inside-the-curators-world/200030675558710 - **Event Categories**: Exhibitions, Art, fine-arts - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Elkhart - **state**: IN - **country**: United States - **location**: 819 N Main St, Elkhart, IN 46514-2739, United States - **lat**: 41.69369 - **long**: -85.97671 - **full address**: 819 N Main St, Elkhart, IN 46514-2739, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Telling Tales with Objects: Inside the Curator's World - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/06104de712e75468505547b6f49fd89053182283a4a0f8a2f35a0d66222504ff-rimg-w1200-h628-dc184878-gmir?v=1788872469 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Telling Tales with Objects: Inside the Curator's World being held? - **A:** Telling Tales with Objects: Inside the Curator's World takes place on Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm at 819 N Main St, Elkhart, IN 46514-2739, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Telling Tales with Objects: Inside the Curator's World? - **A:** Telling Tales with Objects: Inside the Curator's World is organized by Ruthmere Arts and History Campus. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
