Identity and Restraint: Art of the Dog Collar, is a model exhibit, doing everything museum exhibits should do–entice, astonish, and inform.The exhibition developed through a partnership between the National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) in Middleburg, Virginia, and The AKC Museum of the Dog in New York City. This unique show presents an array of dog collars from the NSLM’s collection–187 collars that were donated in 2015 by Dr. and Mrs. Timothy J. Greenan. And this eye-catching collection is partnered with fine art from The AKC Museum of the Dog and American Kennel Club Collections. Visitors to the exhibit can gain understanding of the collar as both art and utilitarian object and how its design changed in relation to different dog breeds and their uses.

The show debuted at the Sporting Library in October 22, will be on display at the AKC Museum of the Dog until September 4, and will then travel to the Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, Georgia, where it can be seen from November 3, 2023 through May 3, 2024.
