UNCOVERED: The Ken Burns Collection

Peoria Riverfront Museum announces the publication of "UNCOVERED: The Ken Burns Collection," in collaboration with Ken Burns and the International Quilt Museum.

Peoria is the final stop and very last chance to see filmmaker Ken Burns’ personal collection of historical American quilts. “UNCOVERED The Ken Burns Collection,” March 5 through June 5, 2022 at Peoria Riverfront Museum, presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the extraordinary artistry of colorful American quilts dating from the 1850s to the 1940s on loan from the legendary documentarian.

The exhibition ends permanently June 5. But soon you can enjoy Ken Burns' extraordinary quilts forever! 

This stunning new book features 26 quilts from the Peoria exhibition and 11 more not yet publicly seen in this extraordinary 128-page publication, filled with 37 richly photographed quilts from Ken Burns' personal collection.
