Opening in April 2025, Love & Marriage will explore themes related to courtship, love, and wedding traditions in Kentucky over the last 150 years. This beautifully curated and intricately designed exhibition will highlight fashion, jewelry, décor, and gifting while encouraging visitors to learn more about traditions from the past, and those from other cultures.

From white wedding dresses to engagement rings, this display will span from ancient Rome, through the 1800s, and into modern-day Kentucky, where interracial and LGBTQ couples have been foundational to legal precedent taken all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

Love & Marriage is a bouquet of history, fashion, bling, ritual, and equity that will not only teach but make our guests feel. It's the historical and personal significance of the rituals that bind people and community. Whether it's love or marriage or both, it's sure to stir up memories of your special day. For better … or worse.
