Every year Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum chooses a different area of Native artwork for a special exhibit. The annual exhibit might be a genre show, featuring such items as Southwestern pottery or 2-dimensional art, or a one-person show/exhibit that provides a closer view of a particular type or style of artwork, such as Paiute beaded baskets or split ash fancy baskets.
