Tuesday-Saturday: 10AM-4:30PM
Sunday: 1PM-4:30PM

From the optimism of the early 1960s to the American Bicentennial in 1976, the Johnson County Museum's current explores the national trends and local issues that make this era so intriguing. In 1960, John F. Kennedy announced that the United States was at the edge of a new frontier.

		<description><![CDATA['Revealing, Reversible and Resplendent: 15th-17th-Century Italian and Spanish Textiles

Hours:
Sunday, Tuesday &amp; Wednesday: 10AM-5PM
Thursday-Saturday: 10AM-9PM

Multiple threads can be woven together to create cloth, but imagine threads fashioned into elaborate embroidery, gilded three-dimensional images, brilliantly-hued reversible fabrics, and even textiles purposely cut in a pattern that revealed glimpses of one's undergarments belowâa style fashionable during the 17th century. This exhibition showcases silk and linen fragments spanning the 15th-17th centuries, a period of expanded exploration and trade, when Italy and Spain emerged as major centers of textile production. During this era, textiles with three-dimensional effects became popular within the Christian church and the secular world.
