1968

My mom was here last week for a bunch of family events, but we had time to check out the 1968 exhibit at the Oakland Museum. I knew I'd love the history of it, but it was better than I expected. Loved what was curated and they did such a good job of conveying the them of how things changed radically and how this change was brought into the living rooms of America. Such a fascinating time and it turns out, many of my favorite films came out that year in including the original "The Producers."






When you walk in, you enter a 1960s living room with TV and a giant Huey sitting there.



The details were just amazing. Loved the crafted lampshade with the floral print and rick-rack.



I so wanted a Mrs. Beasley doll. I remember watching "A Family Affair" in prime time (gah, I'm old). I also wanted to live in a high rise apartment and have my own Mr. French.
 


The artifacts were TO DIE for. Seriously. Those pins. The sunglasses. The groovy wallpaper. Want!




Man on man on man.
