Hold on to
Your Hat
|
|
|
Hats express things about their wearers. They stand out and frame the face-the most expressive part of the body. Some hats are practical, like the hard hat; some are symbolic, like the police officer's hat; and dome hats are both, like the baseball cap.
Do you wear a hat? Maybe to keep you warn in winter, or for your job.? To look good: For playing hockey or riding a bicycle? Or because all your friends wear baseball caps?
This exhibit is about why people in Iowa, past and present, have
worn hats.
