Massachusetts museums and public and local historians share the best andmost intriguing object or archival piece in their collectiosn. A white elephant? Something that cool and weird, or rare and valuable? We show it, post a picture, brag, ask for help interpreting, share what we have done with it. The first of a quarterly series of Conversations on the Commons that will focus on items in our collections and what we do with them. Moderated by Gloria Greis, Executive Director of the Needham History Center & Museum.
