Center for Missouri Studies

There's a special exhibit for the politically-minded on display now through the end of September at The State Historical Society of Missouri. On today's show, JOAN STACK, curator of art collections, takes us through each of the three prints in George Caleb Bingham's 'Election Series' from the mid-19th century. August 25, 2023

It isn't well-known that Missouri used to be the largest fur-trading center in the world or the world's leading shoe manufacturer, but that's okay, that's why we have people like NICOLE JOHNSTON around to tell us- and better yet, show us, 200 years of fashion in the Show Me State. See for yourself now through June 17 at the Center for Missouri Studies in Columbia! Additional guest: JOAN STACK May 20, 2022
