What can an ordinary object tell us about the ways people change one another&mdash\;and about what it means to be Am erican? \;

\n

For more than six decades\, Peace Corps Volunteers have lived and worked alongside communities around the world. They carried pieces of home with them&mdash\;books\, photographs\, music\, clothing\, expectations\, skills\, and ideas about America. They encountered people w ith their own histories\, knowledge\, traditions\, aspirations\, and ideas about the United States. And when Volunteers returned home\, they carried something different back. \;

\n

65 Objects That Changed the World tells this history through the things people carried\, used\, m ade\, exchanged\, saved\, and brought home. \;
These are not monu ments to diplomacy. They are ordinary things that became witnesses to extr aordinary encounters. \;

\n

This opening event is free and open t o the public. No registration is required.
