Be one of the first to
see Homewood's winter focus show!
(It's the cat's
meow.)
Opening Reception:

Homewood's 5th annual winter focus show explores
views of the pets and livestock that were part of early
Maryland's scenery, and especially of Homewood, the 1801 country
house of the Carroll family. It was curated by Johns Hopkins
students enrolled in the undergraduate seminar:
"Introduction to Material Culture: The Pet in Early America,"
co-taught during the fall '06
semester by Catherine
Rogers Arthur, curator of Homewood, and Bill
Leslie, a professor in the
Department
of History of Science and Technology.
The opening reception is
FREE, and features adoptable pets from the Maryland SPCA in
Homewood's wine cellar. Click here to let us know you're

The focus show, presented
in partnership with the Maryland
SPCA, is on view through March

tours, and is included in Museum
