Most museums display no more than 10 percent of their holdings, often citing “not enough space” as the reason. But there are also a wide range of cultural, philosophical, political, environmental, historic, and even superstitious reasons why museums keep some objects from public view.
In this talk, explore a wide range of hidden objects found in the back rooms of museums in our state and around the country. Examples include a Spokane institution that holds Bing Crosby’s toupées and a museum in Lynden that’s home to a 150-year-old pickle.
Harriet Baskas (she/her) is the author of nine books, including 111 Places in Seattle That You Must Not Miss and Hidden Treasures: What Museums Can’t or Won’t Show You. She writes about airports, museums, travel, and a variety of other topics for outlets such as NBC News, The Points Guy, and her own site, StuckatTheAirport.com. She produced a radio series on hidden museum artifacts that aired on National Public Radio. Baskas has a master’s in communications from the University of Washington.
Baskas lives in Seattle.

Join us at A Book for All Seasons to welcome local author, Dan Gemeinhart for a book signing from 1-3pm for his two new books: Busted and The Gingerbread Monster, both released this year! Learn more about his new books, and Dan himself below.

Busted

Oscar Aberdeen is a twelve-year old like no other. Raised in a retirement home, he's into bridge, knitting, and Frank Sinatra. But a madcap adventure ensues when his grandfather can no longer afford the rent, and Oscar agrees to bust out a retired mobster in exchange for cash on the outside.

The Gingerbread Monster

In his laboratory high on the hill, Frank N. Stine has a ferocious sweet tooth that snarls to be fed. But when an eerie experiment spills into his Gingerbread batter, a frightening cookie creation comes to life! The Gingerbread Monster is hulking, horrific... and hungry. But as Frank is chased by his creepy creation, the young baker begins to wonder what the Monster truly craves. After all, there’s no sweeter treat than friendship.
