Description of Pictures: Family Gathering: Linda Bruckheimer’s Kentucky
October 6, 2017 – September 29, 2018
Acclaimed photographer and native Kentuckian Linda Bruckheimer has a unique way of seeing her home state. Her preservationist's eye and historian's sense of detail mean that even the most ordinary becomes extraordinary when captured by her lens. In this Frazier original exhibition, Bruckheimer's beautiful, funny, heartbreaking and authentic images are paired with the words of Kentucky writers in celebration of the splendor and majesty of the Commonwealth.
Nothing replaces an in-person visit to the Frazier History Museum, a place to discover "Where the world meets Kentucky" through Family Gathering: Linda Bruckheimer’s Kentucky, on display now through September 29, 2018.

Wikipedia Description: Frazier History Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Frazier History Museum, previously known as the Frazier Historical Arms Museum and the Frazier International History Museum, is a history museum located on Museum Row in the West Main District of downtown Louisville, Kentucky. An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the Frazier documents and reinterprets stories from history using artifacts, gallery talks, and live daily interpretations by a staff of costumed actors known as “teaching artists.”

Founded in 2004 as a museum of historical arms and armor, the Frazier later expanded its focus to cover regional, national, and international history. The museum is home to one of the largest collections of toy soldiers and historical miniatures on permanent public display in the world, The Stewart Collection. Subjects of other permanent exhibitions include historical arms and bourbon whiskey.

In 2018, the museum became the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail tour.

In 2000, the year he stepped down as Vice-Chairman of Brown-Forman, Frazier gave a presentation to the Kentucky Historical Society called “The Art of the Weapon” which spawned the idea for a museum. In 2001, Frazier purchased the building complex at 829 West Main Street. In 2002, a website was launched announcing the “Owsley Brown Frazier Historical Arms Museum,” an institution whose stated mission was “to acclaim the artistry, craftsmanship, and technological innovation of weapons and their makers.”

In February 2003, Frazier signed a formal agreement entering into a partnership with the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, also known as the United Kingdom's National Museum of Arms and Armour, an ancient institution of the Tower of London that was originally founded to manufacture armor for the Kings of England.
