Visit the museum during the final week of our exhibition, History Lessons, and join us at 12pm for a curator-led tour during the museum's open hours, followed by coffee and snacks in our lobby. Visit the Collections Study Space to view more work from our Collections. 

The artists in History Lessons share new ways of learning, preserving, and making history. They situate themselves as subjects in history and literature, writing counter-narratives as they speak to larger systemic questions about how we teach and remember the past. Working in a range of media and across generations, they share commitments to collaboration, activism, and pedagogy. Handmade and printed texts that appear in their work recall a range of sources, from protest signs to newspapers, and challenge how official texts of history have been written.
