The Adventurer's Library 

 
The Adventurer's Library was hosted by Porter House Museum in 2014. After spending a year exploring and devouring the stories and connections of the Museum, an interactive "hands on" exhibition was created to accompany viewing of the general collections. The works through their collective and individual stories allow the viewer an opportunity to approach the Museum and collections through another lens. The Adventurer's Library asked only that participants allowed themselves to become a part of the ongoing adventures of the Porter family.
