Curator Conversations: Sombreros Texanas and Bosses of the Plains

November 8, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm

Join Museum Curator Michael Grauer in examining the development of what is known today as a “cowboy hat” using the Museum’s permanent collection. Beginning with wide-brimmed leather hats (vaqueteadas), the exhibition will explore the evolution of the cowboy hat from woven sombreros, to “John B.s” or “Stetsons” (whether they were Stetson-made or not), to today’s working cowboy giant “taco shells,” and flamboyantly creased (and decorated) hats of rodeo riders and entertainers, and in popular culture today.
