The Wonderland Museum: Hidden Marvels from the Speed's Collection

To mark the Speed’s 90th anniversary in 2017, Wonderland Museum plumbs the museum’s collection to reveal curious treasures of art and history, many of which have rarely been on view. Ranging from historical marvels to very personal mementoes, these objects reflect the broader interests of the museum’s founder Hattie Bishop Speed, those of her friends, and those of Louisville at large. They speak to a museum that, in its early decades, not only brought great art to the city but also served as a community repository.
