Opening first exhibit in special events gallery: "Weaving a Revolution: a celebration of contemporary Navajo Baskets" January 30, 2013

This special exhibition, developed by the Natural History Museum of
Utah, showcases 150 contemporary Navajo baskets and tells the story of
the people who made them and created a new art form in the process.

These
baskets were made over a 20-year period by weavers from five families
living in Navajo lands within Utah.  The exhibit vividly portrays the
way a group of traditional weavers, a young designer using computer
graphics, and a family of trading post proprieters came together to
create dramatic, bold, and colorful Navajo baskets.
