The second anniversary party (slide show below) on Saturday, February 28 drew an overflow crowd of 125 people. Peg Collins, President of the BAHS thanked the living artists that have loaned works of art to the museum, especially to the Women of Vision Exhibition (ending Nov. 30, 2009). Many people were seeing this exhibition for the first time and were amazed at the multi-media exhibition that interweaves local and national history with fine art and artifacts with lots of color. The celebration, with lots of food and beverage, was a grand 2nd anniversary party and a great start to the Women's History Month, a national celebration. The crowd included Allston-Brighton City Councillor Mark Ciommo and State Representative Kevin Honan.Second Anniversary Party - Big Success!!

Museum Guide Training held on March 5
The annual Museum Guide training was conducted for 20 Museum Guides on Thursday, March 5 from 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM in the Museum. The training was led by John Quatrale. Each Guide was given a folder with information about guide duties, computer operations and narratives of all the panels in the two exhibitions. The Guides also practiced their skills at looking at one piece of art to try to collectively interpret what they were seeing why it might be important. They were urged to come up with questions just like visitors might. Finally, John led them on a tour of the Women of Vision Exhibition, by explaining highlights of the exhibitions that might be used by the Guides in talking to visitors.
