The Culture of Stuff
presented by Montgomery County Historical Society
Everyday people are making and buying things.
The world around you is made up of these things. But
what do these things say about us? And what will these things say about you and your culture one hundred years from now?
The Stories of Stuff is an introduction to the study of Material Culture.
Barry Rauhauser takes a look at how objects provide us with clues about how the people of the past viewed the world around them.
