#0309 "The Aurora Museum"

From the early spring of 1991...

The former Aurora School was turned into a museum. The Town of Aurora's Museum is located at 22 Church Street and has a very long history.
The Aurora Museum and Archives had its origins in the Aurora Historical Society which was founded in 1963. For 50 years the Society developed, preserved and interpreted a collection of over 16,000 objects. Known as the Aurora Collection, it includes artifacts, photographs, textiles, books and documents spanning the period from 500 BC to present day. In 2013, the Aurora Collection was transferred to the Town of Aurora and the Town's first curator was hired in December 2014. The Aurora Collection was re-branded in 2015 as the Aurora Museum and Archives and is part of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department of the Town of Aurora. This is as it appeared in late February 1991.
Prizewinner in Category SOYRA 1991. I like it when people stop and gaze at my art - apparently absorbed in the image and the brushwork.
 For this and so much more art...
