Lights on Main
Returning: November 2024
Step into a magical winter wonderland at the fifth annual Lights on Main, a special exhibition the Frazier is hosting in partnership with the nonprofit I Would Rather be Reading (IWRBR). From November 21 to January 6, the Frazier will be transformed into an enchanted holiday forest with three floors of trees beautifully decorated by local schools, organizations, families, and individuals.
The exhibition also features extensive programming, extended hours, holiday events and activities, and much more listed below. Access to Lights on Main is included in the cost of museum admission or with a museum membership starting at $20.

Love and Marriage
Coming: April 2025
Opening in 2025, Love & Marriage will explore themes related to courtship, love, and wedding traditions in Kentucky over the last 150 years. This beautifully curated and intricately designed exhibition will highlight fashion, jewelry, décor, and gifting while encouraging visitors to learn more about traditions from the past, and those from other cultures.
From white wedding dresses to engagement rings, this display will span from ancient Rome, through the 1800s, and into modern-day Kentucky, where interracial and LGBTQ couples have been foundational to legal precedent taken all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
Love & Marriage is a bouquet of history, fashion, bling, ritual, and equity that will not only teach but make our guests feel. It’s the historical and personal significance of the rituals that bind people and community. Whether it’s love or marriage or both, it’s sure to stir up memories of your special day. For better … or worse.
Keep an eye out here for other wonderful upcoming exhibitions that are scheduled to be on view. In the meantime, check out our current exhibitions on view at the Frazier.
