Gather Up the Fragments: The Andrew’s Shaker Collection brings to the Frist Center more than two hundred objects created and used by the Shakers, a communal religious group that thrived in North America during the nineteenth century. Lesley Herzberg, collections manager at Hancock Shaker Village, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, will delve into the history of the Shaker way of life by discussing the group’s culture and its ideals of simplicity, living communally, and perfection. She will also highlight the clean design, high-quality materials, and impeccable craftsmanship of their handmade objects, which are the most visible reminders of the values and ideals of this intriguing religion.
