This exhibition collected wildly divergent histories, in the form of material culture, from over 50 different halls of fame. From the established Museological standards like the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in Cleveland, OH to the more lighthearted or grass-roots institutions like the Hot Dog Hall of Fame in Fairfield, CA, the project created a meta-collection, full of artifacts and recorded moments from popular american memory.
The exhibition was held from Nov, 1996 through February 1997 and was curated by Renny Pritikin, then Chief Curator, for Yerba Buena center for the Arts. There was a catalog published for this exhibition by Smart Art Press.
