What do the objects we keep reveal about us?
In *The Need to Keep: Works by Amanda Kelly*, meticulously constructed miniature scenes explore memory, accumulation, identity, and the emotional significance of everyday objects.
From a coffin towing a U-Haul to a nostalgic pocket-sized toy, Kelly uses miniature scale to draw visitors into environments often hidden from view. The exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closer, and consider the stories carried by the objects around us.
The exhibition is on view September 25, 2026–April 11, 2027. Museum hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
Content advisory: This exhibition explores themes related to hoarding disorder and includes detailed depictions of severe clutter.
