The Exhibit Blue Monday: Doing Laundry in America tells the story of how domestic technology, gender roles, and consumer culture have met and mixed around a ubiquitous household task. The exhibition explores how laundry was done in times past and who did it — housewives, servants, laundresses or laundrymen. It also examines the different innovations that have lightened the burden on laundry day as well as how manufacturers and marketers sought to sell soap, washing machines, and a whole host of laundry-related products to American women.
Recommended for ages: 6 and up
