The New York Historical Society is preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States with six new exhibits beginning this fall. The first exhibit, "Declaring the Revolution: America's Printed Path to Independence," will feature significant historical prints and documents such as Benjamin Franklin's testimony on the Stamp Act and John Adams' political essays. Other exhibits throughout the year will focus on immigrant experiences, revolutionary women, Dutch Old Masters paintings, contemporary art, and reflections on New York's resilience during crises. These exhibits aim to spark discussions about America's history amid its current socio-political landscape.
"The museum's upcoming exhibits will not only celebrate America's history but also provoke important dialogues about its past, particularly during a time of transition in the nation."
"As we look to celebrate 250 years of American independence, the stories these exhibits tell will resonate with contemporary audiences as they reflect on the nationâs ongoing challenges and triumphs."
