“Breaking the Glass” is the SMMJA’s flagship fall exhibition, comprised of objects from the Museum’s permanent collection, as well as wedding related items on loan from community members of various cultures. The exhibition also features a companion exhibition in the Mezzanine gallery entitled “Bridal Jewelry: Circles of Love” that will focus on the jewelry for a bride and groom that is symbolic in every culture, from the tiara to the wedding rings, jewelry worn on that special day that represents the lifetime of love and commitment to be affirmed in the wedding ceremony. The Sherwin Miller Museum will exhibit examples of these symbolic adornments, from bride’s belts and tiaras to wedding rings and pearls, a wealth of the symbols of love. The opening reception of this exhibition is tonight from 5:30-7pm.
