GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — Time & the Valleys Museum’s newest exhibit for the 2016 season, “Picture Your Self(ie) in the 1930s” is a series of three-dimensional vignettes depicting life as it was back in the 1930s, designed so that visitors can easily step into the scene and snap those selfies. The vignettes will help all visitors, young and old, to appreciate the conveniences of modern day life.

As visitors enter the exhibit, the barbershop will be the first vignette to catch their eye. Shaving mugs, straight razors and other manual tools used by barbers to service their all-male clientele back in the day are available as props. Don’t look for any electric appliances or tools because you won’t find them here. Other vignettes will be an outhouse, farm scene, photography and camera, hat shop, school days and wash day. The museum gift shop has been equipped to print hard-copy 4x6-inch photos specifically for this exhibit.

To attend the unveiling at 2 p.m. on June 12, call 845/985-7700, leave your name and phone number and indicate whether you will be attending alone or with a friend. Admission is free for members and a guest. Admission of $3 will be charged for non-members. Old-fashioned refreshments will be served at the reception; wear your favorite old hat to compete in the Best Hat competition. Visit www.timeandthevalleysmuseum.org.
