Taking shows on the road
Some Huntington shows don't travel in
their original form but are given new life as facsimile exhibits. By
combining reproductions of rare materials with interpretive text written by the
curators, theses panel exhibits can tour almost indefinitely without putting
original materials at risk. The Library's George Washington and
"Votes for Women" exhibits are two recent examples.
Currently making an extended tour of
libraries across the country is the facsimile exhibit "Forever Free:
Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation," curated by John Rhodehamel and
funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Launched in 2003,
this powerful and thought-provoking display has reached thousands of people to
date and will take its message even further as its "road show"
continues for several years to come.
