Have you picked up a new hobby since you’ve been home? Gone back to something you used to do? Has it helped with stress and anxiety? We bet it has.
In our the upcoming exhibition at Maryland Historical Society, “Wild and Untamed: Dunton’s Discovery of the Baltimore Album Quilt,” we explore how Dr. William Rush Dunton Jr. used hobbies/activities, or “occupations,” to help people cope with distressing situations.
Send us pictures and stories of your crafts, exercise, or any activity that has helped you cope to museum@mdhs.org with the subject line “My COVID Occupation,” or use #MyCOVIDOccupation on social media. Your images will become a part of the exhibition!
