The exhibit includes examples of four kinds of traditional American baskets as well as photographs of people making them. What strikes one about the older forms is their appropriateness to their places, their makers and themselves. In addition to the American baskets, baskets from cultures around the world that are part of the museum's permanent collections will be display. The exhibit is toured by the Southern Arts Federation Folk Arts and Southern Culture Traveling Exhibits Program.
Admission is free.
The museum is located behind the tennis courts, adjacent to Wake Forest's track stadium. For more information, call 759-5282.
