An idol to many
Dolly Parton, beloved actress and, above all, country singer passed away today. She has been a prominent figure in our museum collection for decades, represented by a unique portrait pipe dominated by her striking hairstyle. It was carved in 1981 by the wood artist Bollinger in a cubist style that was somewhat old-fashioned for that time. Since 2002, the pipe has been displayed discreetly alongside other notable figures also carved in briar. Visitors who ask about it are shown the piece.
