🏛️ A Revolutionary Dialogue

Inside the third-floor Beaux-Arts Court, historic printings of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and The American Crisis sit beside works by Kara Walker and Hank Willis Thomas. The juxtaposition asks what self-governance demands across centuries, framed by monumental architecture and quiet reading tables. General admission gives you full run of the gallery, with pay-what-you-wish general admission, purchased in person at the admissions desk. With closing day arriving this Sunday, November 8, it is a focused hour of history and contemporary critique before the installation comes down.
