Welcome to The Object Itself, a podcast brought to you by the Albany Institute of History & Art. In each episode, we invite a guest to select one object from our collection or from an exhibition—an object that speaks to them in a unique way.
With over 35,000 objects in Albany Institute's permanent collection and over one million items in special collections, each piece holds a story, a link to our past, a message for the future.
In this podcast, we’ll delve into the rich histories and personal reflections that our guests bring to the table, revealing how these objects continue to inspire and connect us across time.
Join us as we take the time to look closer and appreciate The Object Itself.
