From the Collection - Stars and Stories: American Art from the Permanent Collection

Inspired by the themes of our current exhibitions, these works drawn from the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles permanent collection explore the representations and realities of American culture. From nostalgia-infused imagery of summer baseball, diners, and the Western frontier, to contemporary issues of immigration, social justice and political activism, these works address the disparity between Americana's popular symbols and American's lived experiences.
