THE KINSEY COLLECTION: The Personal Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey

THE KINSEY COLLECTION: The Personal Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, an extensive exhibition drawn from the artistic and historical treasures collected by California residents Bernard and Shirley Kinsey. THE KINSEY COLLECTION presents the journey of the Kinseys as they embrace and acquire art and artifacts. From rarely seen slave owners’ documents and brilliant expressions in paint to glimpses into private eighteenth and nineteenth-century lives, reflecting a rich cultural and historical heritage.

THE KINSEY COLLECTION includes works of art by important African American artists such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Sam Gilliam, William H. Johnson, Jacob Lawrence, and Henry O. Tanner; as well as historical documents and artifacts of Benjamin Banneker, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Ann Jacobs, Alain Locke, Phillis Wheatley, and Malcolm X. When viewed as a whole, the ninety plus objects reveal important aspects of American history and culture.
