“Inside Collections” compares the collections of the Museum of American Heritage and Filoli Historic House and World Class Garden. Topics will include collections acquisition, management, and exhibition. By providing insight into the unique stories of these collections, this lecture will explore why museums collect what they do and compare how they use their collections to share stories with their communities.

Bobby Gamba is the Curatorial Specialist at Filoli Historic House and World Class Garden. He has also been a volunteer at MOAH since 2022 and is in his final year for my MA in Museum Studies at San Francisco State. As such. he is in the unique position of understanding the collections of these two institutions intimately. Bobby will focus on collections management and is bolstered by his background in Classics and Anthropology.

This lecture is held inside MOAH’s Livermore Learning Center at 351 Homer Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94301.
