The Way we Worked: Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibit Coming To Molino

February 3, 2016

“The Way we Worked”, a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition, is coming to the Molino Museum next month.

The Way We Worked, adapted from an original exhibition developed by the National Archives and Records Administration, explores how work has become a central element in American culture. It traces the many changes that have affected the workforce and work environments over the past 150 years, including the growth of manufacturing and increasing use of technology. The exhibition draws from the Archives’ rich collections, including historical photographs, archival accounts of workers, film, audio and interactives, to tell the compelling story of how work impacts our individual lives and the historical and cultural fabric of our communities.

The exhibit will be open in the museum inside the Molino Community Complex on Highway 95A will be open Monday-Saturday from March 19 until April 30.

Plans are being made for a grand opening celebration with music, clogging, programs, additional exhibits and more.  Additional details will be published on NorthEscambia.com as the grand opening date approaches.

    This is Awesome! I can’t wait for it to get here. I plan on taking my boys to see it. I know they will get a kick out of finding out what is was like back then. Plus, it gives our kids and adults around here something new to learn about. Things like this are in short supply around here. Which is a shame!
