"Ragtime: The American Hooked Rug Tradition"
Presented by Osterville Museum May 31-September 28, 2012 Early hooked rugs were born of necessity: recycled fabrics and yarn (or just recycled textiles) became rugs that warmed homes.

On Fridays, the Museum hosts the Osterville Farmers' Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The film provides endless examples of Eisenstein’s genius not just at combining shots but at composing them as well, while the battle scenes demonstrate his continued mastery at choreographing electrifying action.

Ansel Adams: At the Water's Edge
Presented by Peabody Essex Museum at Peabody Essex Museum June 9-October 8, 2012 Wherever he photographed, Ansel Adams' appreciation for water was never far from the surface. He was drawn to the subject in all its forms, from rain, fog, mist and clouds to ice and snow. He also photographed water's effects in tide pools, weathered buildings and erosion patterns.
