The Melancholy Museum
is a reinstallation of objects in the Stanford Family Galleries in conjunction with the 125th anniversary of the museum. It includes over 700 objects collected by Leland Stanford Jr. and his parents. These items tell the story of the culture of grief that was very much a part of the Gilded Age that the Stanford family inhabited. The death masks of all three family members are on display, as is a portrait of young Leland, framed by fabric drapes, evoking the mourning customs of the period.
