Join Curator of Historic Textiles, Virginia Theerman, for an in depth tour of the Museum’s current historic textiles exhibit, Chintz: A Quilted History.  Learn why these cotton textiles that were hand painted and block printed with large-scale floral motifs were highly sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries and how chintz evolved into ‘chintzy”.

Conversations with a Curator allows visitors a chance to have an in-depth look at an object or exhibit in the Museum galleries, ask questions and spark conversations. The Charleston Museum’s collections are both extraordinary and diverse and each Curator-led talk and tour allows participants to immerse themselves in a different aspect of Charleston’s rich history.

All Conversations with a Curator programs are open to the public and FREE for Members and FREE with admission.
