Exhibit Opening: All That Glitters Is Not Gold – Silver in the NHS Collection

May 31, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Please join us for the opening of NHS’ summer exhibit All That Glitters Is Not Gold: Silver in the NHS Collection. From its founding as a settlement for religious outcasts through the rise and fall of the colonial trade economy and up to its present as a premiere tourist destination, Newport’s varied history can be traced through the items of silver prized by its residents. We welcome you to explore this exhibit to learn more about silver as a reflection of Newport’s past.

The event will run 5PM-7PM on Wednesday May 31, at the Richard I. Burnham Resource Center [82 Touro Street, Newport]. A complimentary drinks reception will be provided.
