Whether it was frilled, faded by washing, or a sunny yellow, your grandmother, mother, or favorite aunt probably wore an apron while working around the house, including preparing meals both modest and grand. Through a collection of photographs, stories, and vintage aprons, Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections at the Franklin G. Burroughs–Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum explores the memories of women who wore these aprons, from a 111-year-old mother and her child to a biology professor from Mali. Don’t miss this exhibit that examines the role of women, the values of a simpler time, and the bond between parent and child—it may just bring back your own fond apron memories.
