Museums preserve the history, art and objects of our life, but they also have their own story too. We talk to an art expert about the history of museums, and their importance as an institution. Then, we talk about the possessions we cherish, and the memories that make those objects special.

What Are Your Most Prized Possessions?
Our homes and spaces are full of our things — some bought after careful deliberation, others less so. We talk about the items that matter most in our lives from prized possessions, hand-me-downs, family heirlooms, handmade things and more. We ask you to share what your most important values are as well.
