 Collections
The
Rogers Gallery of Contemporary Indian Art includes about 400
paintings, sculptures and other creative works. Rotating
exhibits from this collection are always on display. Donated by
Clarence and Margaret Rogers, these works of art represent the
talents of many tribes with a wide range of styles and subjects.
A majority of these works were created by descendants of the
Southeastern Indians, many of whom now live west of the
Mississippi due to the removal of their ancestors during the
Trail of Tears in the 1800’s.
 Another
permanent exhibit is "Tools of the Trades", the Sellars
Collection of Antique Hand Tools. Acquired by Marietta
businessman Alan Sellars, this astonishing exhibit includes
thousands of tools dating from as early as the 17th century. The
individual panels depict a wide variety of trades -- and the
design of each panel is a work of art in itself.
Why tools? Because they tell the story of the rise of craft and
technology in western Europe and North America.
