Life Above the Bakery explores nearly a century of Reher family life through the belongings they used, saved, and left behind. Together, these everyday objects reveal how ordinary lives shape the history of a place.

Featuring everyday objects from the Reher family’s apartment above their bakery at 101 Broadway, this exhibition offers a glimpse into nearly a century of life in one home. Preserved belongings—from familiar household items to drawers and tins filled with small keepsakes—reveal changing habits, needs, and circumstances across generations. Together, they invite us to consider how ordinary lives shape the history of a place—and which objects might tell our own stories.
