News & Announcements
Slater Memorial Museum has partnered with Otis Library to bring you a new, enriching, family-friendly event: Storytime at Slater!
Join us at Slater Memorial Museum on August 10th from 2-3:30 pm for a children's event led by local artist Jac Lahav.
Welcome everyone to Slater Museum's new website, and thank you to all of our great supporters and friends who have helped usher in a new era to the museum's history beginning in 2023. Since being closed for over a year and a half due to our roof restoration and gallery renovations, we are excited to finally bring the museum back to NFA and the public.
Brought to you by local artist Jac Lahav, The Great Americans (2010 - Present) is a series of over 35 life-sized portraits re-telling iconic narratives of American history. Lahav’s portraits of famous Americans challenge the viewer's expectations by depicting well-known and under-represented icons in unconventional ways through dress and pose.
