April 19 – July 20, 2008
Organized by the California African American Museum, this exhibition offers a roadmap to the journey encountered by these collectors as they embrace and acquire art and artifacts. The over 90 objects offer only a sampling of the treasures held by the Kinseys who have spent a lifetime building a significant private art and cultural collection. From slave owner’s documents, to brilliant expressions in paint and glimpses into nineteenth-century private lives, the Kinsey Collection reflects a rich heritage which they have been driven to capture and sustain for future generations.
