Curated Sundays: The Power of Hats: Status and Identity

From radiant crowns of ancient deities to revolutionary hats, headwear has long served as more than just fashion—it’s a bold statement of who we are, what we believe, and the power we hold. This engaging talk explores how hats across time and culture reflect status, identity, and transformation. Whether divine, royal, rebellious, or unifying, each headpiece reveals a deeper story. Come and explore the message of the hat.

This special Sunday event will be held in the museum’s Community Room and will include a relaxed afternoon tea. Favorite hats and fascinators are encouraged! Doors open at 12:30 p.m., presentation begins at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 – reserve your seat by calling 480-350-5100 or book via Eventbrite (fees apply), space is limited.
