The Lew Anvil Collection

The Lew Anvil Collection believes that the exploration of history helps provide identity; helps us understand and grapple with complex questions and dilemmas by examining how the past has shaped (and continues to shape) global, national, and local relationships between societies and people; and gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past. When saved, preserved, and shared, history inspires leaders and positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding and solving current and future problems. The collection showcases relics, furniture, silver, ceramics, books, and photographs.
