An exhibit of local business signs from the permanent collection of Tempe History Museum as well as loans from other public and private collections will be on display beginning Sept. 13.
“The exhibit shows how signs can be iconic to a community, bringing back memories of beloved businesses that are now closed or reminding us of how the visual landscape of the city has changed,” stated a release announcing the exhibit.
In addition to physical signs, the exhibit will include historic sign photography on a three-screen video loop, an interactive story map to explore signs by location and contemporary art by local artists whose work is inspired by signs, according to the release.
The exhibit will run through Jan. 27 at the museum, 809 E. Southern Ave. The museum is open 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
A free opening reception will take place 6-8 p.m. Sept. 14.
