The Durham Museum has announced a new exhibition from one of their largest collections, “Woven with History: Timeless textiles from the Ak-Sar-Ben Collection,” which will run from October 11 to January 11.

In partnership with The Aksarben Foundation and The Durham’s On Track Guild, The Durham Museum is releasing the first accessible and comprehensive book on the organization’s legacy. This richly illustrated coffee table book traces Ak-Sar-Ben’s impact through archival photographs, untold stories and rare artifacts.
