Treasures from the Attic at Behringer-Crawford Museum

Behringer-Crawford Museum in Devou Park is showing “Treasures From the Attic: 250 Years of Fashion & Furniture” through August 9, 2026, according to the museum’s current exhibitions page. The Covington museum says the exhibit opened February 14 and uses clothing and furniture to trace how people lived, worked and expressed themselves over roughly 250 years. The exhibition was developed with Northern Kentucky University’s Public History Program, the museum says. Museum materials describe it as both a public-facing history show and a student collaboration. ### What is actually in the exhibit? “Treasures From the Attic” centers on ordinary domestic objects rather than a single famous collection, according to Behringer-Crawford Museum’s exhibition description. The museum says the show uses everyday clothing and furniture to document daily life across different periods, with the focus on how material objects reflect work, taste and social habits. (bcmuseum.org) Behringer-Crawford Museum also promoted a featured item tied to the exhibition: an original “Star Trek: The Original Series” costume worn by actress Lee Meriwether. In a museum post, BCM said Hollywood sci-fi and pageant-related pieces were joining the broader fashion history display. ### Why is Northern Kentucky University involved? Northern Kentucky University’s Public History Program helped develop the exhibition, according to the museum’s event and exhibition pages. (bcmuseum.org) Behringer-Crawford Museum says the partnership gives students hands-on museum experience while supporting the museum’s collections, education and exhibition work. Dr. Teri Edelstein, identified by the museum in its exhibition materials, said the relationship between the students and the museum is “invaluable.” The museum used that description in explaining the collaboration behind the show.
