Hoaxes and Hunts
“Science” trade card, early 20th century, Churchman’s Cigarettes, Imperial Tobacco Company. Gift of William Helfand, CHF Collections.
CHF hosted an April Fools’-themed First Friday on April 2, 2010. Visitors enjoyed a visual scavenger hunt, true-or-false quizzes, and (mis)guided museum tours.
Prizes were awarded to those who saw through the silicon deceptions.
