Cultural Custodians: How America's Collections Preserve and Propel

This enlightening discussion between a distinguished panel of experts from The National Trust for Historic Preservation and renowned guests delve into the profound role of historic collections in shaping our understanding of the past. In this conversation— to mark the Trust’s 75th Anniversary— we explored the intersection between fine and decorative arts and historic architecture to examine how these artifacts—whether housed in iconic landmarks or private historic homes—tell the rich, layered stories of America’s cultural heritage.
