Stream the Film

Don't miss the streaming premiere of the tenth film in Taiwan-based Malaysian director Tsai Ming-liang’s acclaimed Walker series. In the Walker films, Taiwanese actor Lee Kang-sheng very slowly traverses landscapes and cities around the world. The series is inspired by the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who famously walked from China to India in search of scriptures.

The first Walker film shot in the United States, Abiding Nowhere takes place here at the National Museum of Asian Art and other locations in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Here, the camera follows both Lee and Laotian actor Anong Houngheuangsy. Tsai describes Abiding Nowhere as “two lonely souls on separate journeys, sometimes crossing paths but never once meeting.”

Director: Tsai Ming-liang (Taiwan, United States). Released: 2024. Length: 79 min. Format: Streaming. No dialogue.

This Saturday, we will look closely at Alma Thomas’s Blue and Brown Still Life (1958). Then we’ll head back to Art School to practice abstract still-life painting inspired by Thomas.

ABOUT TEEN STUDIO

Teens ages 13–19 are invited to hang out and get creative at the Hirshhorn’s Teen Studio. Teen Studio is a free series of art-making workshops offered from 2:30 to 4 PM every Saturday. All skill levels are welcome—from the novice notebook doodler to the experienced teen artist, there’s something for everyone!

Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh theme inspired by artists on view. Each workshop will offer a mix of time in the galleries, where we’ll encounter groundbreaking artists, and time in Hirshhorn Art School, where we’ll experiment with new media and materials. Whether you’re into painting, sculpture, 3D design, animation, or something else, you’ll get hands-on experience and unlock new creative skills.

If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu.  We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.","locationType":"In-Person","location":"Hirshhorn Museum","webLink":"hirshhorn.si.edu…","startDateTime":"2026-05-23T14:30:00","endDateTime":"2026-05-23T16:00:00","dateTimeFormatted":"Saturday, May 23, 2026, 2:30 – 4 p.m. EDT","allDay":false,"startTimeZoneOffset":"-0400","endTimeZoneOffset":"-0400","canceled":false,"openSignUp":false,"reservationFull":false,"pastDeadline":true,"pastCancelDeadline":true,"requiresPayment":false,"refundsAllowed":false,"waitingListAvailable":false,"eventImage":{"url":"https://www.trumba.com/i/DgB3nHN6QFUTMezCo6O-JNw6.jpg","alt":"","size":{"width":1225,"height":816}},"detailImage":{"url":"https://www.trumba.com/i/DgB3nHN6QFUTMezCo6O-JNw6.jpg","alt":"","size":{"width":1225,"height":816}},"customFields":[{"fieldID":11165,"label":"Sponsor","value":"Hirshhorn Museum","type":17},{"fieldID":11223,"label":"Venue","value":"Hirshhorn Museum","type":17},{"fieldID":10831,"label":"Event Location","value":"Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.","type":0},{"fieldID":12112,"label":"Cost","value":"Free","type":1},{"fieldID":11153,"label":"Categories","value":"Kids & Families","type":17},{"fieldID":10834,"label":"Related Events","value":"Teen Studio

The title Caesar applied to many rulers over three centuries, from Augustus to Constantine, whose decisions shaped Rome’s rise and decline. Historian Barry Strauss explores this long imperial era, highlighting Rome’s adaptability: its leaders combined conquest with openness to immigrants, promoted talent from humble regions, and wove women into elite power networks. Strauss argues that these emperors offer enduring insights—both inspiring and cautionary—about leadership, ambition, and the forces that sustain or undermine great states.

Every Wednesday morning at 10 and 11 AM, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure. Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK Let’s celebrate our city and the people and spaces that make Washington, DC, special. After taking a “tour” of the city through our read-aloud, we’ll learn about one of DC’s most notable art movements: the Washington Color School. Then we’ll get inspired by school cofounder Morris Louis’s painting Buskin (1959), made by pouring paint onto a canvas, to make our own colorful drip art. Featured book: Washington, DC, Baby! by Feather Flores; illustrated by Emily Roberts
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience. There are two Storytime sessions each Wednesday, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour. No pre-registration is required. Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session. Storytime Studio has limited capacity. We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu. Everyone is welcome. Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.

Every Wednesday morning at 10 and 11 AM, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure. Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK Let’s celebrate our city and the people and spaces that make Washington, DC, special. After taking a “tour” of the city through our read-aloud, we’ll learn about one of DC’s most notable art movements: the Washington Color School. Then we’ll get inspired by school cofounder Morris Louis’s painting Buskin (1959), made by pouring paint onto a canvas, to make our own colorful drip art. Featured book: Washington, DC, Baby! by Feather Flores; illustrated by Emily Roberts
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience. There are two Storytime sessions each Wednesday, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour. No pre-registration is required. Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session. Storytime Studio has limited capacity. We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu. Everyone is welcome. Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.

At the National Museum of American History, we tell big stories about a big nation. But many objects we collect and preserve are linked to specific locations, too. National trends and events affect people at a local level, and sometimes local stories grow into national ones.

At this special Objects Out of Storage event, view rarely seen objects from the museum's Division of Work & Industry that showcase the scope of the national collection. An 1837 electric motor (Brandon, Vermont) and a 1950 Bundt pan (Minneapolis, Minnesota) are just two of the objects curators will use to recall stories of how Americans in many times and places have pursued the promises of our nation’s founding.

Throughout 2026, we’re celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary with an exhibition and programs that explore the ideals of the Declaration of Independence.

About the Instructor and Crafts
Youngjae Kim is a former senior curator at the National Folk Museum of Korea with over 20 years of experience in Korean traditional attire and cultural heritage. She currently leads research and cultural programs through the Hansan Research Institute.

Jangmyeongru (장명루)
This five-colored braided bracelet symbolizes health, protection, and longevity. Participants will create their own bracelet that integrates this traditional color symbolism.

Bojagi (보자기)
Bojagi is an icon of traditional Korean culture. This versatile and beautiful wrapping cloth is rooted in women’s domestic culture, where many everyday household objects were carefully crafted with both form and function in mind. Influenced by royal traditions of the Joseon dynasty, bojagi reflects both practicality and aesthetic refinement. Reusable and eco-friendly, it embodies flexibility, creativity, and the beauty of thoughtful wrapping without waste.

Hanbok (한복)
Hanbok is traditional Korean clothing consisting of an upper and lower garment. It is often worn during traditional holidays such as Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (Korean harvest festival) and for special occasions such as weddings and ancestral ceremonies.
This program is supported by and presented in cooperation with the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C., and the National Folk Museum of Korea.

An expert panel will discuss a specific topic of concern, providing food for thought while the audience enjoys a menu inspired by the location and themes raised in the discussion. After the conversation, diners turn to each other to engage in an interactive activity designed to continue shared reflection on the evening's topic. Through this program, participants can make new connections, exchange resources, and develop new perspectives. Most importantly, participants conclude the evening prepared to apply insights gained from having "a seat at the table" to their own lives.

In this May 2026 edition, our discussants are public historians whose work centers Black lives in the neighborhoods where we live, work and grow our families, where we struggle, survive and can sometimes thrive, alongside the institutions that we build and amidst obstacles placed by a society that seeks to control and limit possibilities. They will help us to see how preserving and interpreting that history helps us reach for the best possible quality of life in the present.

This event will be held offsite at The Barrel Factory, 65 Vandalia St, Buffalo, NY 14204.

Join us for a screening of Bring Them Home, a film that tells the story of the Blackfoot people striving to re-establish wild buffalo on tribal land after 100 years of absence. The film recounts efforts to restore buffalo, land, traditional culture and bring healing to the Blackfeet community. Narrated and executive produced by Oscar nominee, Blackfeet/Nez Perce actor, Lily Gladstone, the film has been an audience favorite at festivals.
After the screening, Sant Director Kirk Johnson moderates a conversation and audience Q&A, and guests are invited to check out the Bison: Standing Strong exhibit after hours.

In 1953, the Salvation Army described itself as “the largest voluntary emigration agency” in the world. In the preceding 50 years, it had assisted nearly a quarter of a million people to emigrate from the British Isles to the then-British Dominions across the world. Archivist Ruth Macdonald explores how the organization went from a Christian revival society in East London to a global emigration agency and how migration from Britain was both promoted and contested as a solution to the economic and social welfare issues of the day.

Reflect on 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special curator-led tour of our ongoing exhibition Native New York. The Revolutionary War (1775–1783) tested the bonds of the Haudenosaunee (Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations) Confederacy, an alliance of six nations that controlled most of the territory now known as New York State. Neighboring nations were also drawn into the conflict and all were forced to choose sides or try to remain neutral. Learn more about Indigenous history on both frontiers of the war in relation to the Mohican, Oneida, and Cayuga communities and in the war’s aftermath at Buffalo Creek.

The 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist saw two thieves posing as police officers steal 13 masterpieces, including works by Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Degas. Art historian Laura Morelli explores why these specific pieces—such as Rembrandt’s only seascape and a rare Vermeer—hold exceptional artistic and historical value. She reflects on how their disappearance continues to trouble scholars and the public, and she examines leading theories about the artworks’ fate, underscoring the enduring mystery surrounding one of history’s most significant art thefts.

Reflect on 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special curator-led tour of our ongoing exhibition Native New York. The Revolutionary War (1775–1783) tested the bonds of the Haudenosaunee (Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations) Confederacy, an alliance of six nations that controlled most of the territory now known as New York State. Neighboring nations were also drawn into the conflict and all were forced to choose sides or try to remain neutral. Learn more about Indigenous history on both frontiers of the war in relation to the Mohican, Oneida, and Cayuga communities and in the war’s aftermath at Buffalo Creek.

Master filmmaker Satyajit Ray explores the conflict between fanaticism and free will in Devi. In turn, he issues a subversively modern challenge to religious orthodoxy and patriarchal power structures.

In rural India in the second half of the nineteenth century, a wealthy feudal landlord (Chhabi Biswas) is seized by the notion that his beloved daughter-in-law (a hauntingly sad-eyed Sharmila Tagore) is an incarnation of the Mother Goddess. This delusion proves devastating to the young woman and those around her.

The elegantly stylized compositions and the chiaroscuro lighting by cinematographer Subrata Mitra heighten the expressionistic intensity of this domestic tragedy, making for an experience that is both sublime and shattering. Description adapted from Janus Films.

Director: Satyajit Ray. Country: India. Released: 1960. Length: 99 min. Format: DCP, B&W. Language: Bengali with English subtitles.

Throughout the Middle Ages, Jews lived in various diaspora communities, in foreign lands under both Muslim and Christian rule. Biblical scholar and historian Gary A. Rendsburg explores such communities in Egypt, Italy, England, and Spain. At times, Jews flourished in these foreign lands, though at other times anti-Jewish fervor resulted in massacres, expulsions, and ghettoization. In a full-day seminar, Rendsburg surveys the highs and the lows in his examination of Jewish life in the medieval era.

Hear award-winning author Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation Citizen, and Tsimshian Alaskan Native) share her newest book Stories Are the Heart of the World during a special installment of Story Time. Goodluck will also read some reader favorites such as Fierce Aunties! Yáadilá! Good Grief!, Rock Your Mocs, and more! After story time in the Reading Room ends, visitors can get their books signed by the author. Select titles will be available for purchase in the Roanoke Museum Store (Level 2) and in the imagiNATIONS Activity Center during the program.

Goodluck resides in Albuquerque, NM, with her Diné husband. Belonging to an intertribal family is at the heart of her stories, encouraging children to realize their cultural experiences are unique and powerful perspectives to rely on, explore, and celebrate.

Laurel’s 2025 books include Fierce Aunties! (Simon & Schuster) & Yáadilá! Good Grief! (Harper Collins). Forever Cousins (Charlesbridge, 2022) was named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and NTCE Honor Book, and was named the 2024 American Indian Youth Literature Award winner for Best Picture Book, and was hailed by Dr. Debbie Reese’s blog as “one of the best books I’ve read.” Too Much, My Great Big Native Family was released in 2024 (Simon & Schuster), and more award-winning books include Rock Your Mocs (Harper Collins, 2023), and She Persisted: Deb Haaland (PRH, 2023), which was selected in 2025 to represent New Mexico at the Library of Congress’s National Book Festival. Learn more about the author and her work at www.laurelgoodluck.com.

*Due to limited capacity in our spaces, tickets may be needed to enter the Activity Center and therefore the Story room (limited to 25 persons max). Please see staff at the entrance desk of the imagiNATIONS Activity Center on Level 3.

Hear award-winning author Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation Citizen, and Tsimshian Alaskan Native) share her newest book Stories Are the Heart of the World during a special installment of Story Time. Goodluck will also read some reader favorites such as Fierce Aunties! Yáadilá! Good Grief!, Rock Your Mocs, and more! After story time in the Reading Room ends, visitors can get their books signed by the author. Select titles will be available for purchase in the Roanoke Museum Store (Level 2) and in the imagiNATIONS Activity Center during the program.

Goodluck resides in Albuquerque, NM, with her Diné husband. Belonging to an intertribal family is at the heart of her stories, encouraging children to realize their cultural experiences are unique and powerful perspectives to rely on, explore, and celebrate.

Laurel’s 2025 books include Fierce Aunties! (Simon & Schuster) & Yáadilá! Good Grief! (Harper Collins). Forever Cousins (Charlesbridge, 2022) was named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and NTCE Honor Book, and was named the 2024 American Indian Youth Literature Award winner for Best Picture Book, and was hailed by Dr. Debbie Reese’s blog as “one of the best books I’ve read.” Too Much, My Great Big Native Family was released in 2024 (Simon & Schuster), and more award-winning books include Rock Your Mocs (Harper Collins, 2023), and She Persisted: Deb Haaland (PRH, 2023), which was selected in 2025 to represent New Mexico at the Library of Congress’s National Book Festival. Learn more about the author and her work at www.laurelgoodluck.com.

*Due to limited capacity in our spaces, tickets may be needed to enter the Activity Center and therefore the Story room (limited to 25 persons max). Please see staff at the entrance desk of the imagiNATIONS Activity Center on Level 3.

Laurel’s 2025 books include Fierce Aunties! (Simon & Schuster) & Yáadilá! Good Grief! (Harper Collins). Forever Cousins (Charlesbridge, 2022) was named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and NTCE Honor Book, and was named the 2024 American Indian Youth Literature Award winner for Best Picture Book, and was hailed by Dr. Debbie Reese’s blog as “one of the best books I’ve read.” Too Much, My Great Big Native Family was released in 2024 (Simon & Schuster), and more award-winning books include Rock Your Mocs (Harper Collins, 2023), and She Persisted: Deb Haaland (PRH, 2023), which was selected in 2025 to represent New Mexico at the Library of Congress’s National Book Festival.

Join us for Teen Studio, a free art-making program exclusively for teens ages 13–19. Push your artistic boundaries using materials and techniques inspired by artists whose work is now on view at the Hirshhorn.

Every weekend in May, Teen Studio will explore boundary-breaking artists in the Hirshhorn collection who used color to bring their ideas to life. This Saturday, we’ll look closely at Aliza Nisenbaum’s Mis cuatro gracias (Brendan, Camilo, Carlos, Jorge) (2018). Then we’ll head back to Art School to practice linocut stamp carving with guest artist Rose Jaffe. We’ll work with repetition and pattern building by using the stamps to print on canvas tote bags.

ABOUT TEEN STUDIO
Teens ages 13–19 are invited to hang out and get creative at the Hirshhorn’s Teen Studio, a free series of art-making workshops offered from 2:30 to 4 PM every Saturday. All skill levels are welcome—from the novice notebook doodler to the experienced teen artist, there’s something for everyone!

Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh theme inspired by artists on view. Each workshop will offer a mix of time in the galleries, where we’ll encounter groundbreaking artists, and time in Art School, where we’ll experiment with new media and materials. Whether you’re into painting, sculpture, 3D design, animation, or something else, you’ll get hands-on experience and unlock new creative skills.

If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.","locationType":"In-Person","location":"Hirshhorn Museum","webLink":"hirshhorn.si.edu…","startDateTime":"2026-05-30T14:30:00","endDateTime":"2026-05-30T16:30:00","dateTimeFormatted":"Saturday, May 30, 2026, 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. EDT","allDay":false,"startTimeZoneOffset":"-0400","endTimeZoneOffset":"-0400","canceled":false,"openSignUp":false,"reservationFull":false,"pastDeadline":false,"pastCancelDeadline":false,"requiresPayment":false,"refundsAllowed":false,"waitingListAvailable":false,"eventImage":{"url":"https://www.trumba.com/i/DgCIMtO77eFziECNcvgb84mY.jpg","alt":"","size":{"width":1225,"height":816}},"detailImage":{"url":"https://www.trumba.com/i/DgCIMtO77eFziECNcvgb84mY.jpg","alt":"","size":{"width":1225,"height":816}},"customFields":[{"fieldID":11165,"label":"Sponsor","value":"Hirshhorn Museum","type":17},{"fieldID":11223,"label":"Venue","value":"Hirshhorn Museum","type":17},{"fieldID":10831,"label":"Event Location","value":"Art School on the Lower Level","type":0},{"fieldID":12112,"label":"Cost","value":"Free","type":1},{"fieldID":11153,"label":"Categories","value":"Kids & Families","type":17},{"fieldID":10834,"label":"Related Events","value":"","type":1}],"permaLinkUrl":"https://www.si.edu/events?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D203539637","eventActionUrl":"https://www.trumba.com/eventactions/smithsonian-events#/actions/8k14ukzeebankduf418b31u2pz","categoryCalendar":"Hirshhorn Museum|One time events","registrationTransferTargetCount":0,"regAllowChanges":true},{"eventID":202315445,"template":"Smithsonian Event","title":"Broad Stripes and Bright Stars","description":"Meet Mary Pickersgill, seamstress of the enormous garrison flag that inspired the lyrics to America’s national anthem and later became known as the Star-Spangled Banner.

Watch the Trailer

Adapted from Sunil Gangopadhyay’s celebrated 1968 novel, Days and Nights in the Forest is a modern search for connection that conjures the timeless resonance of a folktale.

Desperate to flee Calcutta’s rat race, four young men drive to Palamu, one of India’s rural “tribal lands.” Despite vowing to get away from it all, the crew soon mixes with the locals. Through these relationships, Ray touches on masculine vulnerabilities and Indian class divisions with the graceful complexity of a master at his peak. Meanwhile, longtime cinematographer Soumendu Roy delivers these characters through lavish images. Description adapted from Janus Films.

Director: Satyajit Ray. Country: India. Released: 1970. Length: 116 min. Format: DCP, B&W. Language: Bengali with English subtitles.

Restored in 4K in 2025 by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and Film Heritage Foundation in collaboration with Janus Films – The Criterion Collection at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, from the original camera and sound negatives provided by Purnima Dutta and the magnetic track preserved by BFI National Archive.

Featuring a Discussion on Musical Vision and Legacy with Clive Davis and Harvey Mason Jr.","description":"Join us at the Museum for a special screening of Do You Remember?, a film celebrating the extraordinary career of Clive Davis and the music that has shaped generations. One of the most influential executives in modern music, Davis built his legacy in close collaboration with Black artists, producers, and entrepreneurs whose creativity transformed the soundscape of American culture.

With a remarkable ear for talent and a willingness to invest in it, Davis played a pivotal role in identifying, developing, and elevating artists at defining moments in their careers, including Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Earth, Wind & Fire, Dionne Warwick, Luther Vandross, Gladys Knight, Sly and the Family Stone, Jennifer Hudson, TLC, Toni Braxton, Monica, Usher, Deborah Cox, Fantasia, Ray Parker Jr., and OutKast. He also contributed to the careers of jazz innovators, including Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock.

Early in his career, Davis forged a groundbreaking partnership between Columbia Records and legendary songwriters and producers Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, helping bring the Philadelphia soul sound to national audiences through artists such as The O'Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, and Billy Paul. He later supported the growth and visibility of Black-led ventures, including Philadelphia International Records and LaFace Records, helping bring visionary artists and new business models to mainstream audiences.

At the heart of this story are the enduring contributions of Black musicians and music innovators whose artistry shaped soul, R&B, pop, funk, jazz, and hip-hop, and continues to influence generations around the world. Many of the artists represented in this film are also featured in the Museum’s Musical Crossroads exhibition, where their stories and cultural impact are preserved through objects, media, and interactive experiences.

Throughout the screening, Harvey Mason Jr., renowned songwriter, producer, and CEO of The Recording Academy, will join Davis in a live conversation. Together, they will reflect on creative visioning, artistic partnership, and the lasting impact of the Black artists whose talent and innovation continue to define the soundtrack of our lives.

In this webinar, an expert panel discusses Berlin’s recently rediscovered Ernst Fritzsche Gallery collection and its importance to the field of provenance.

The Fritzsche Gallery was one of the first art dealers specializing in East Asian art and one of the most popular galleries in Berlin’s Tiergarten district during the interwar period. When the Nazi party came into power, the gallery profited greatly from the expulsion and murder of Jewish collectors and dealers by selling their looted collections. The Allied bombing raids of Berlin in 1943 destroyed the gallery, and parts of its inventory were presumed lost. But in 2023, archaeologists discovered the gallery’s cellar along with more than 3,000 damaged objects.

The panel features experts who work with the city of Berlin to document and research the newly unearthed cellar. Together, they consider questions raised by the discovery and the necessary conservation measures to secure it.

The online series Unpacking Provenance: Retracing the Histories of Asian Art brings together cross-disciplinary specialists to discuss provenance research processes and share resources. Discussions focus on a single object or object group, exploring a variety of innovative, strategic, and collaborative approaches to inquiry.

Unpacking Provenance is part of a larger collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz that seeks to cultivate the global network of provenance researchers and promote exchange. Previous programs include Hidden Networks: The Trade of Asian Art (2020–2022) and Provenance of Asian Art: A Collaborative Workshop and Symposium (2023).

Generous support for the museum's provenance research and object histories program is provided by the David Berg Foundation and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.

Speakers includeFacilitated by
Marie Hartmann studied Conservation and Restoration of Archaeological and Historical Cultural Heritage at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences. She completed training as a biological technical assistant to familiarize herself with scientific approaches within the field and interned at the Rathgen Research Laboratory in Berlin. Hartmann’s undergraduate and graduate degrees focus on material analysis in conservation practice to help identify an object’s place of origin, thereby contributing to questions of attribution and provenance.

Olivier Joumarin (Dipl.-Ing., MSc, Bauforscher) is an archaeologist and building historian with over fifteen years of experience in scientific documentation and heritage conservation. Since 2025, he has been the director of his own consultancy, AuB – Archaeology and Building Research, specializing in architectural surveys, excavation management, and historical building assessments. He has worked with the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in research and documentation, focusing on the analysis of complex archaeological findings and international projects. He also worked with AAB René Bräunig as a building researcher and excavation director, during which he managed numerous projects in practical heritage conservation and urban archaeology in the Berlin–Brandenburg region. His technical expertise includes the production of precise measured surveys (true-to-deformation documentation), the supervision of preparatory archaeological excavations, and professional consulting for architects and property owners working with historic structures.

Nathalie Neumann (M.A.) is a German–French art historian and has worked as a provenance researcher since 2014 on a variety of media including painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and East Asian art for several public and private institutions mainly in France and Germany, such as Team Gurlitt, Kunstverwaltung des Bundes, JGU Mainz, M2RS (Paris), and DRACAURA I and II (Southeast France). She is currently employed by the city of Fulda as provenance researcher, financed by the German Lost Art Foundation.

Joanna M. Gohmann (PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is the National Museum of Asian Art’s first curator of provenance and object histories. In this role, she leads provenance research across collection areas and manages the museum’s ongoing collaboration with Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz’s Museum of Asian Art and Central Archives. Gohmann integrates provenance stories into NMAA’s web presence and gallery installations. Her work appears in the exhibition Freer’s Global Network: Artists, Collectors, and Dealers, exploring the influences that shaped how the museum’s founder collected art. Before coming to the Smithsonian, she held positions at the Walters Art Museum, the Offices of Historic Alexandria, the Ackland Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Art.

Christine Howald (PhD) is an expert in Asian art provenance research. As deputy director of the Zentralarchiv (Central Archive), she co-leads the provenance research team at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Christine manages the global research and network initiative on provenance and Asian art with the National Museum of Asian Art (Smithsonian Institution). She has published widely and is coeditor of two issues of the Journal for Art Market Studies on Asian Art (2018 and 2020) as well as the publication “em//power//relations: A Booklet on Postcolonial Provenance Research” (2022).

Evolutionary biologist and writer Marlene Zuk highlights the often-ignored animals that share human environments, revealing how their lives illuminate adaptation and coexistence on a crowded planet. She argues that creatures commonly dismissed as pests offer valuable lessons about how species interact and what it means to belong in an ecosystem. Through examples ranging from coyotes and snakes to cockroaches, butterflies, cowbirds, and mynas, Zuk shows how these close-to-home creatures share intertwined lives with humans.

On Feb. 4, 1794, the legislators of France’s revolutionary government abolished slavery in all its colonies.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.
Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK
Summer is here, and this month we’ll find ways to beat the heat at Storytime. This week, we’ll be joined by the National Zoo to learn how animals adapt to protect themselves from the sun, and why shade is an important part of the Zoo’s animal exhibit design. We’ll cool off from the hot rays with a visit to Spencer Finch’s installation Cloud H20 (2006), on view in Big Things for Big Rooms, and make shadow artworks. 
Featured book: There Was a Shadow: A Picture Book by Bruce Handy, illustrated by Lisk Feng
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.
There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.

No pre-registration is required.
Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity.
We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Everyone is welcome.

Walt Disney frequently adapted Victorian children’s literature, from Alice in Wonderland to Peter Pan. Literary scholar Patrick Fleming follows how works evolved from concept to franchise, examining how Disney’s writers engaged with original texts and historical contexts throughout long production cycles. Fleming also notes that Disney’s ties to the Victorians extend beyond adaptation: Walt Disney’s career parallels that of Dickens, and Disney’s princesses, musicals, theme parks, and marketing rely on Victorian cultural and legal frameworks.

In the chaotic days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Roosevelt administration made a controversial decision. To encourage reciprocal treatment of U.S. diplomats trapped abroad, it sent hundreds of Axis diplomats living in the United States to remote luxury hotels. Already stunned by the attack on Honolulu that killed more than 2,400 service members and civilians, many Americans were enraged by the government’s magnanimity towards its enemies. Writer Harvey Solomon makes this story come alive.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.
Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK
Summer is here, and this month we’ll find ways to beat the heat at Storytime. This week, we’ll learn how shade protects both animals and humans from the sun, helping to keep us healthy. We’ll cool off from the hot rays with a visit to Spencer Finch’s installation Cloud H20 (2006), on view in Big Things for Big Rooms, and make shadow artworks.
Featured book: There Was a Shadow: A Picture Book by Bruce Handy, illustrated by Lisk Feng

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.

There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.

Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity.

We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Long before modern art found its home in museums, it thrived in salons, collections, and networks cultivated by women. From gatherings in Europe to avant-garde circles in early 20th-century New York, these women nurtured artists, championed emerging talent, and shaped the tastes that defined modern culture. In a 3-session series, art historian Jennie Hirsh highlights the salonnières and patrons who forged spaces where innovation flourished. This session focuses on Katherine Dreier, Florine Stettheimer, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Co-presented with the Arab Gulf States Institute

Followed by a panel discussion and reception featuring treats from Muncheez.

The first Iraqi film to compete in the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Directors’ Fortnight section, The President's Cake won both the competition’s top prize and the audience award. Set in the 1990s during the rule of Saddam Hussein, this charming tragicomedy follows nine-year-old Lamia, who is assigned by her teacher the task of making a cake—the one Iraqis were required to make for Saddam’s birthday. Lamia sets off on a picaresque journey to beg for, borrow, or steal the ingredients she needs and, in the process, meets a cross-section of her country's population, all of whom are trying their best to make the best of difficult times. “The President's Cake offers an astute, poignant story of empathy for humanity caught in the crosshairs,” writes Diane Carson for the Alliance of Women Film Journalists.

Director: Hasan Hadi. Countries: Iraq, Qatar, United States. Released: 2025. Length: 105 min. Format: DCP. Language: Arabic (Iraqi Dialect) with English subtitles.

These giants of American comedy conquered every medium they took on: television, films, Broadway, and recordings. Media historian Brian Rose takes a look at their extraordinary achievements, from their work together on comedian Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows” to their accomplishments as writers, directors, and performers.

With approximately 90 native species spanning the United States from coast to coast, oaks are seemingly everywhere yet deserve a closer look. Learn about how this keystone species benefits both human and plant communities.   

Scholar and “key-oak” speaker Andrew Hipp, director of the Herbarium and lead scientist in Plant Systematics at The Morton Arboretum, will provide an overview of these amazing trees, followed by spotlights on significant oaks at both The Huntington in San Marino, California, and Smithsonian Gardens in Washington, D.C.

This event is organized by The Huntington and Smithsonian Gardens.

Museum professionals are paired with community members to conduct basic processing, cataloging and inspection of audio and video tapes and photographs to learn how to identify risk factors and make recommendations for preserving historical collections. 


 Workshop participants will gain experience in working with and training other community historians to care for their collections. In this guided process, they will engage in hands-on processing, inspecting, and cataloging both audiovisual and paper-based media. Most importantly, they will make it possible for these organizations to preserve their history for future generations. 


 This workshop is IN-PERSON ONLY and lunch will be provided.  A workshop schedule and volunteer packet will be provided after completing registration.

The Medici dominated Florence from the 14th to 18th centuries, shaping European art, science, and architecture. Their villas embodied a new ideal of living with nature and became settings for leisure, scholarship, botanical experimentation, commercial ventures, and private passions. These estates mirrored evolving ideas about politics, philosophy, and design.

Galvanized by the post-World War II decolonization of African nations and the civil rights, Black power, anti-war, and feminist and womanist movements, African-descendant cultural producers in the United States began claiming a Black aesthetic that emerged from the lived experience of Black people. The Black Arts Movement permeated rural and urban areas, drawing on blues, jazz, Black folk culture, and Black idiomatic expressions. Spend a day with Michele L. Simms-Burton, scholar of African American and Africana studies, to explore the Black aesthetics and Black pride that define this arts movement and examine its producers of everything from music to literature to art. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Presented by curator and historian Tasha Klusmann, this 120-minute program explores the Pavilion’s evolution from neighborhood recreation site to culturally significant civic space.
 
Through archival photographs, oral histories, and visual storytelling, the program highlights grassroots stewardship, intergenerational traditions, and the power of community activation in preserving public space. The presentation includes excerpts from an upcoming documentary with the working title Love Letter to the Anacostia Skating Pavilion – DC Skate Story. The video presentation brings the Pavilion’s energy and atmosphere to life and is followed by a facilitated conversation and meet-and-greet with longtime skaters.
Participants are invited to share memories and contribute photographs or memorabilia to an ongoing community archive documenting the Pavilion’s first 50 years.

You must register in advance.

Learn about the materials, techniques, and imagery of Hindustani drawings with two artists traditionally trained in Pakistan and India respectively, Murad Khan Mumtaz and Manish Soni. This workshop highlights the expressive value of line through masterworks on view in Of the Hills: Pahari Paintings from India’s Himalayan Kingdoms.

Practice preparing paper and pigments as well as the fundamentals of drawing technique. Then try siyah qalam brush and ink rendering. This technique is the backbone for making and understanding Mughal, Rajput, and Pahari paintings as well as an art form in itself.

We supply all materials, including traditional squirrel hairbrushes, pigments, and paper.

Want to learn more about the master artists teaching the course? Watch the short films Portrait of a Cloud and Musavari: Colors of Tradition.

About Murad Khan Mumtaz
Murad Khan Mumtaz is a US-based Pakistani artist and scholar. He graduated with an MFA from Columbia University in 2010 and completed his PhD in art history from the University of Virginia in 2018. He is currently an associate professor in the Art Department at Williams College.
 
As small acts of remembrance, Murad’s artworks meditate on traces of local cultures and histories disappearing in the globalized landscape of contemporary life. As a direct response to his scholarly research, Murad applies painting methods and techniques associated with historical Hindustani painting. More recently, he has immersed himself in traditional iconography, creating images of devotion that find expression through contemplative landscapes and figures of saints and ascetics.

About Manish Soni
Manish Soni is a contemporary miniaturist from Bhilwara, Rajasthan, who brings centuries-old traditions to life with a fresh and curious spirit. Trained in his family workshop, he blends the precision of traditional Indian painting with his own inventive approach—experimenting with materials, techniques, and storytelling in ways that feel both timeless and new. One of his most fascinating projects is a collaboration with the art connoisseur Paul Abraham, titled Issa-namah, which reimagines the life of Jesus Christ through the visual language of the 16th-century Hamzanamah manuscript from Emperor Akbar’s court—an unexpected and captivating fusion of cultures, histories, and artistic traditions.

Soni’s work has found its way into notable private and institutional collections, and he has collaborated with the Museum Rietberg on the exhibition Ragamala: Pictures for All Senses. Always evolving, he is currently collaborating with an ustaad, his friend and comrade, Murad Khan Mumtaz, on an upcoming project.

Push your artistic boundaries using materials and techniques inspired by artists whose work is now on view at the Hirshhorn.

This week, get ready to dive into the bold, boundary-breaking world of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Banksy! Graffiti artists often “riff” off one another, adding layers of characters, words, and images to existing work to expand a story in collaborative ways. In this Teen Studio, we’ll explore the exhibition Basquiat x Banksy, then head back to Art School for a riff-off of our own.

ABOUT TEEN STUDIO

Teens ages 13–19 are invited to hang out and get creative at the Hirshhorn’s Teen Studio, a free series of art-making workshops offered from 2:30 to 4 PM every Saturday during the school year. All skill levels are welcome—from the novice notebook doodler to the experienced teen artist, there’s something for everyone!

Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh theme inspired by artists on view. Each workshop will offer a mix of time in the galleries, where we’ll encounter groundbreaking artists, and time in Hirshhorn Art School, where we’ll experiment with new media and materials.

You'll find yourself alternating between laugh-out-loud slapstick to end-of-your-seat suspense in this "deliriously entertaining satire on the derangement of being downsized” (Jessica Kiang, Variety). Superstar Lee Byung-hun (Squid Game, Mr. Sunshine) stars as Man-su, a content suburban family man who is laid off from his paper company job after 25 years. He endures humiliation and rejection at every turn until his desperation leads him to the most drastic measures. Director Park Chan-wook's swooping camera movements and razor-sharp plotting propel No Other Choice with exceptional energy.

Director: Park Chan-wook. Country: Korea. Released: 2025. Length: 139 min. Format: DCP. Language: Korean with English subtitles.

The study of iconography reveals how symbols and allegories help decode artworks that long puzzled scholars. Art historian Noah Charney examines how medieval viewers recognized saints in paintings despite widespread illiteracy. By identifying attributes tied to martyrdoms, such as Saint Lucy’s eyes on a platter or Saint Peter’s inverted cross, viewers understood each figure’s identity and meaning. Using Crivelli’s Demidoff Altarpiece, Charney shows how to read religious images like clues in a visual investigation. (World Art History Certificate elective,1/2 credit)

Britain’s so-called “devil’s decade” saw the nation reeling from the 1929 Wall Street crash as unemployment, poverty, and widening class divisions reshaped daily life. Many turned to cinema glamour and theatrical escapism while tabloids fixated on sensational crimes and royal scandal, including Edward VIII’s affair with Wallis Simpson. At the same time, economic despair fueled support for Oswald Mosley’s fascist movement. Historian Julie Taddeo highlights this turbulent era as a clash between lingering Victorian traditions and an increasingly modern, fractured society.

In an era marked by concerns over tariffs, political polarization, and shifting global alliances, questions about the durability of the U.S. dollar’s international dominance are becoming increasingly urgent. Economist Barry Eichengreen traces the evolution of cross-border money from the earliest coinage of the 7th century B.C.E. to modern cryptocurrencies and emerging central bank digital currencies. Eichengreen examines patterns in the life cycles of international currencies over the past 2,500 years, offering valuable lessons about how currencies rise—and why they fall.

What began as an experiment in the use of the new autochrome process expanded into a twelve-day marathon during which Coburn and Freer—working together despite vast differences in age and background—recorded over forty-seven Whistlers and fifty-two Asian and Middle Eastern objects. Join Professor Emerita Anne McCauley for a talk centered on the surviving autochromes and why their creation inspired such outpourings of mutual excitement and friendship. 

This program is part of the monthly lunchtime series Sneak Peek, where staff members and outside scholars share personal perspectives and new research related to the collections of the National Museum of Asian Art. 

Anne McCauley, David H. McAlpin Professor Emerita at Princeton University, has published extensively on 19th- and early 20th-century photography, including A.A.E. Disdéri and the Carte de Visite Portrait Photograph; Industrial Madness: Commercial Photography in Paris, 1848–71; The Steerage and Alfred Stieglitz (co-authored); and Gondola Days: Isabella Stewart Gardner and the Palazzo Barbaro Circle (co-curated and co-authored). In 2017 she was the curator and primary author of Clarence H. White and His World: The Art and Craft of Photography, 1895–1925.

In celebration of World Ocean Day (June 8th) we are going Behind the Science with zoologist Matt Girard for a look beneath the waves using DNA and explore how NMNH scientists are building a DNA reference library for fish species that live in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), part of the Museum’s Ocean DNA Initiative. DNA libraries like these are transforming our ability to detect and monitor marine life using tiny traces of genetic material leftover in seawater—known as environmental DNA (eDNA). Through new field research, historical museum collections, and modern sequencing approaches, Matt will highlight why building these DNA libraries is essential for species discovery, conservation, fisheries management, and understanding a rapidly changing ocean.

Registration is encouraged. Space is filled on a first come first served basis.

Author Megan Kate Nelson explores how the American West took shape in the 19th century by highlighting communities that thrived even as frontier mythology erased them. Drawing from her book The Westerners, she examines federal and individual actions that fueled cultural tensions. She spotlights figures such as Sacajawea, more than just Lewis and Clark’s guide but an explorer who forged her own path; Jim Beckwourth, a biracial trader known for his cultural insight; and Polly Bemis, a Chinese immigrant who built a life in Idaho despite exclusion laws. Nelson also discusses several of the sources she used to write about the lived experiences of men and women who built the American West.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK

Travel to the sun with help from Joan Miró and educators from The Phillips Collection. Miró was often inspired by celestial bodies in his work, including his painting Woman and Little Girl in Front of the Sun (1946), on view in Revolutions. We’ll feel the heat as we touch the sun during our read-aloud and use UV rays to create cyanotype “sun prints” inspired by Miró’s work.

Interested in learning more about Miró? Don’t miss the Phillips’ exhibition Miró and the United States, on view through July 5. Plus, join Art School educators at The Phillips Plays drop-in family program on June 13 from 10 AM to 1 PM.

Featured book: I Touched the Sun by Leah Hayes

Fairy lore was once far broader and stranger than the 19th-century image of tiny winged beings. Historian and folklorist Francis Young traces how European cultures imagined fairies as powerful, human-like supernatural entities—from Irish aos sí to Scandinavian elves and Balkan vilas. He illustrates how these beliefs adapted to Christianity, thrived through the Middle Ages, and survived major cultural shifts, including the Reformation and Enlightenment. Young also highlights how colonial expansion globalized the idea of fairies and how enduring beliefs in fairies influence contemporary culture.

Grant Wood, famed for one of America’s most iconic paintings, crafted a nostalgic public image that masked a far more intricate inner life. Art historian and Wood biographer R.

Through Wood’s personal documents and paintings, Evans presents a multidimensional portrait of a man who became an unwitting national symbol. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Spread out over a scenic rift valley created by the separation of two tectonic plates and riddled with unusual geologic features, Thingvellir National Park marks the site of the first open-air parliament in Iceland. It also serves as the historical backdrop for the transformation of seafaring Vikings into some of the most isolated and hardy farmers in the world. Historian Justin M. Jacobs explores the Vikings’ migrations, their strategies for survival on an impoverished and volatile island, and the innovative political institutions they developed to prevent large-scale violence in Iceland.

The Smithsonian Institution has shaped the character of the National Mall since 1855. Washington’s most beloved museums trace the arc of American architecture, from James Renwick’s Gothic design of the Smithsonian Castle to the contemporary National Museum of African American History and Culture designed by a collaborative team led by David Adjaye, Philip Freelon, and J. Max Bond Jr. Romanesque to Victorian, Neoclassical to Brutalist, each unique building is an architectural study all its own.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK

Travel to the sun with help from Joan Miró and educators from The Phillips Collection. Miró was often inspired by celestial bodies in his work, including his painting Woman and Little Girl in Front of the Sun (1946), on view in Revolutions. We’ll feel the heat as we touch the sun during our read-aloud and use UV rays to create cyanotype “sun prints” inspired by Miró’s work.

Interested in learning more about Miró? Don’t miss the Phillips’ exhibition Miró and the United States, on view through July 5. Plus, join Art School educators at The Phillips Plays drop-in family program on June 13 from 10 AM to 1 PM.

The United States Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, commonly known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was created by Congress in 1865 to assist in the political and social reconstruction of post-war Southern states and to help formerly enslaved people make the transition from slavery to freedom and citizenship. In the process, the Bureau created millions of records that contain the names of hundreds of thousands of formerly enslaved people and Southern white refugees.

Community members will learn how to research their ancestors in the Freedmen’s Bureau records and be able to conduct searches in real time. This comprehensive search platform is designed to help family historians and genealogists find their ancestors and to assist scholars and students in researching various topics found in more than 1.7 million pages of Freedmen’s Bureau records.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) is often regarded as the last ukiyo-e artist, working across the transition between the feudal Edo period (1603-1868) and the Westernization of Japan in the Meiji era (1868-1912). Yoshitoshi is known as an artist of the macabre and bizarre. However, this ghoulish reputation can obscure the important contributions he made to the development of new artistic genres. Kit Brooks, curator of Asian art at the Princeton University Art Museum, explores Yoshitoshi's career, examining what makes his art—and life—so haunting.

What does human evolution reveal about the way we sleep—and why do so many people struggle today? David R. Samson, associate professor of evolutionary anthropology at the University of Toronto, uncovers how our ancestors’ move from the safety of the forest canopy to more dangerous ground shaped the brain’s unique sleep patterns we follow today. He offers insights into how a fundamental yet overlooked aspect of human biology has shaped the evolutionary trajectory and continues to influence daily lives.

The United States Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, commonly known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was created by Congress in 1865 to assist in the political and social reconstruction of post-war Southern states and to help formerly enslaved people make the transition from slavery to freedom and citizenship. In the process, the Bureau created millions of records that contain the names of hundreds of thousands of formerly enslaved people and Southern white refugees.

Community members will learn how to research their ancestors in the Freedmen’s Bureau records and be able to conduct searches in real time. This comprehensive search platform is designed to help family historians and genealogists find their ancestors and to assist scholars and students in researching various topics found in more than 1.7 million pages of Freedmen’s Bureau records.

Reflect on 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special curator-led tour of our ongoing exhibition Native New York. The Revolutionary War (1775–1783) tested the bonds of the Haudenosaunee (Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations) Confederacy, an alliance of six nations that controlled most of the territory now known as New York State. Neighboring nations were also drawn into the conflict and all were forced to choose sides or try to remain neutral. Learn more about Indigenous history on both frontiers of the war in relation to the Mohican, Oneida, and Cayuga communities and in the war’s aftermath at Buffalo Creek.

American Realism usually refers to the Ashcan School, led by Robert Henri, which portrayed New York City’s gritty life around 1900. But “realism” also describes earlier artists like John Singleton Copley, trompe l’oeil painters such as Rembrandt Peale and William Harnett, and 19th century figures including Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and John Singer Sargent. The term later extended to movements like Socialist Realism and Photo Realism. Art historian Heidi Applegate traces these varied meanings across art history.

Reflect on 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special curator-led tour of our ongoing exhibition Native New York. The Revolutionary War (1775–1783) tested the bonds of the Haudenosaunee (Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations) Confederacy, an alliance of six nations that controlled most of the territory now known as New York State. Neighboring nations were also drawn into the conflict and all were forced to choose sides or try to remain neutral. Learn more about Indigenous history on both frontiers of the war in relation to the Mohican, Oneida, and Cayuga communities and in the war’s aftermath at Buffalo Creek.

Each week, we’ll take inspiration from the heat of summer and look at artworks by artists such as Nicolas Party, Spencer Finch, Joan Miró, and more.

Join us this Saturday as we draw inspiration from Joan Miró and his painting Woman and Little Girl in Front of the Sun (1946), now on view in Revolutions. Miró worked in an abstract style, with references to nature and biomorphic shapes. Inspired by his practice, we’ll experiment with recycled odds and ends to create our own abstract works of art!

Meet in Art School on the Museum’s Lower Level.

The music of Brendan’s Voyage is rooted in the “people’s history”—songs born in cottages, carried across the Atlantic, and kept alive in the social halls and pubs of American cities. Brian Gaffney uses storytelling to bridge the gap between ancient melodies and the modern Irish American experience. Come hear songs that tell the story of Irish history, exploring the immigrant journey, the hardship and resilience that came with fighting the Great Famine and the struggle for independence. Songs may include: “Rosie’s,” “Girl in My Dreams,” and “Song from Home.”

The music of Brendan’s Voyage is rooted in the “people’s history”—songs born in cottages, carried across the Atlantic, and kept alive in the social halls and pubs of American cities. Brian Gaffney uses storytelling to bridge the gap between ancient melodies and the modern Irish American experience. Come hear songs that tell the story of Irish history, exploring the immigrant journey, the hardship and resilience that came with fighting the Great Famine and the struggle for independence. Songs may include: “Rosie’s,” “Girl in My Dreams,” and “Song from Home.”

During the Soviet Era, filmmakers balanced the need to promote Soviet ideology with the desire to tell stories unique to their cultures. Khamraev's visual poetry resonates with the work of his contemporaries such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Sergei Parajanov.

In Man Follows Birds, an outcast boy leaves his village to travel with his friend, seeking truth and beauty in nature despite the cruelty and violence of adults. Of the film, Ismailova says, “This coming-of-age story is set in a timeless situation. The script was written by Timur Zulfikarov, a major Tajik author and one of the first to develop a distinctive voice that deviated from Soviet ideology, but wasn’t censored. The music, visual language and actors also make this a great film."

Description adapted from Eye Filmmuseum.

Director: Ali Khamraev. Country: USSR. Released: 1975. Length: 87 min. Format: 35mm. Language: Russian with English subtitles.

ABOUT TEEN STUDIO

Teens ages 13–19 are invited to hang out and get creative at the Hirshhorn’s Teen Studio, a free series of art-making workshops offered from 2:30 to 4 PM every Saturday during the school year. All skill levels are welcome—from the novice notebook doodler to the experienced teen artist, there’s something for everyone!

Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh theme inspired by artists on view. Each workshop will offer a mix of time in the galleries, where we’ll encounter groundbreaking artists, and time in Hirshhorn Art School, where we’ll experiment with new media and materials.

In this erotic thriller, filmmaker Park Chan-wook transposes Sarah Waters’s acclaimed novel Fingersmith from Victorian England to 1930s Japanese-occupied Korea. A conman calling himself Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo) aims to seduce and marry wealthy heiress Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee). To further his cause, he enlists pickpocket Sook-hee (Kim Tae-ri) to insinuate herself as Lady Hideko’s servant. But his plans are thrown into disarray when the women fall in love with each other and hatch their own scheme. Moving back and forth in time, The Handmaiden is full of twists, turns, alliances, and betrayals that keep you guessing to the very end. “Exquisitely designed and sexually liberating, this is a hugely entertaining thriller” (Benjamin Lee, The Guardian).


Intended for mature audiences.


Director: Park Chan-wook. Country: Korea. Released: 2016. Length: 144 min. Format: DCP. Language: Korean and Japanese with English subtitles.

In 1877, Spencer Baird, the second Secretary of the Smithsonian, dispatched naturalist Edward W. Nelson to the wilds of Alaska for four years, where he became known as “the man who collects good-for-nothing things.” Those things are now among the treasures of the Smithsonian’s anthropology collection. William Fitzhugh, the director of the Smithsonian’s Arctic Studies Center, discusses how Nelson’s research laid the foundation for 150 years of natural history and anthropological studies, as well as exhibits and public programs.

Rear Adm. Samuel Francis Du Pont, once considered among the Navy’s finest officers, suffered lasting damage to his reputation after the failed 1863 ironclad attack on Charleston. Though praised early in the Civil War for securing a major Union victory, he was later miscast as resistant to innovation. Historian Kevin J. Weddle argues that Du Pont supported technological progress but opposed using ironclads for this mission. Overruled by superiors, he carried out the attack, which ended his career. Weddle restores Du Pont’s overlooked contributions to naval modernization and strategy.

The 1773 Boston Tea Party arose from colonial outrage over the Tea Act, a measure meant to curb smuggling and aid the East India Company but viewed in Boston as a monopoly threatening colonial liberty. Merchants denounced the act, and tensions peaked when three tea-laden ships arrived. About 100 men boarded the vessels and dumped the cargo into the harbor. Historian Richard Bell interprets the protest as an early stand against corporate power and global economic influence, an act that worsened relations between the Crown and colonies and helped set the stage for revolution.

In this talk Imani Black, founder of Minorities in Aquaculture, will break down how consumers can better understand the seafood they’re buying and eating, including how to read seafood labels, what to look for at the market and how to ask the right questions. She'll also address some of the most common misconceptions about aquaculture and what it actually means for our food systems. Grounded in real-world experience, this session will help people feel more confident and informed in their seafood choices. By the end, attendees will have practical tools to make decisions that align with their values, budgets and access.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK

Cool off in the spray from a fire hydrant, or “johnnypump,” alongside a boy and dog in a celebrated 1982 painting by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat now on view at the Museum. Then we’ll make watercolor artworks to beat the summer heat.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.

There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.

No pre-registration is required.

Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity.

We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu.
Everyone is welcome.

Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.

Art historian Joseph Paul Cassar provides an introductory history to African art and aesthetics, addressing the terminology used when describing the art. Cassar highlights main concepts found in African art, including the flexed-knee motif and representations of maternity and fertility. He provides a close look at a variety of styles of masks, from expressive to abstract, executed in wood, ivory, and bronze. Cassar also discusses the challenges of studying African art, as well as its influence on modern European painters and sculptors. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Many of the most significant areas of mathematics have emerged from questions about extremes: the shortest path between two points on a curved surface, the fewest colors needed for a map, the fastest fall, or the shortest proof. To illuminate how mathematicians drive knowledge forward by reaching for the edges, author and mathematician Ian Stewart explores stories of superlative problems—their history, the struggles to solve them, and the uses of some of the results.

As America turns 250 in 2026, young people are writing its next chapter. Join a group of educators who apply interdisciplinary approaches to learning to engage young people in civic dialogue tied to their communities. Through a range of Smithsonian programs and resources, youth interact with historical and contemporary sources to understand their local histories while also contemplating a future that is shaped in response to present-day priorities. These programs support youth in developing stronger civic identities and encourage them to take active roles in preserving and protecting the rich histories within the communities where they live. 

We will explore case studies that model collaboration with students and action planning using historical sources, oral histories, photography, literature, art and more, to encourage youth voice as part of imagining any community's future. You'll leave with access to lesson plans, program models, toolkits, and opportunities to join the Smithsonian as an education partner. 

Program Details:
This is a Zoom webinar with automatic captioning. You’ll be able to participate using the chat and Q&A, and your camera and mic will be disabled. We’ll record and post the webinar on the Smithsonian Learning Lab’s Events page approximately 72 hours after the session ends.

For general questions, or if we can provide additional accessibility services to support your participation, please email us at learninglab@si.edu. Please make your accessibility request as far in advance as possible—preferably at least one week before the program date.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK

Cool off in the spray from a fire hydrant, or “johnnypump,” alongside a boy and dog in a celebrated 1982 painting by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat now on view at the Museum. Then we’ll make watercolor artworks to beat the summer heat.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.

There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.

No pre-registration is required.

Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity.

We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu.
Everyone is welcome.

Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.

Here: Pride and Belonging in African Art is based on years of close collaboration and dialogue with African visual art practitioners who claim belonging in the LGBTQ+ community, however they define those terms.

Curated by the museum’s archivists, this exhibition features images from the Archives Center at the National Museum of the American Indian. The photos were selected from more than a half million images stewarded by the museum. They give an intimate view of Indigenous lives across the Western Hemisphere and across time. They show everyday moments of joy and quiet reflection. In these images, people attend social gatherings, pose for family photos, and learn from relatives. Each photo has a story to tell. It is the rich insight shared by Native people that brings these stories to life. Join a guided tour of the exhibition to learn more.

Join us to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States at Indepen’Dance! With activities for all ages, Indepen’Dance! celebrates the nation’s history and culture through the lens of dance, illuminating the ways dance contributes to individuality, creativity, and our shared identity.

We’ve partnered with local organizations and artists to bring you two days of live music, hands-on activities, film screenings, dance classes, and more. Learn how to “beat ya feet” to a live go-go band with The Go-Go Museum, dance on over to the National Museum of the American Latino's Molina Family Latino Gallery for salsa inspired activities and instruction or learn about a DC style of swing with the National Hand Dance Association. 

Hear kid-friendly stories with the DC Public Library, the Scott Silbert Big Band on our Terrace, and DJ sets throughout the museum. See the 1988 cult classic film/musical Hairspray in our Warner Bros. Theater as part of the History Film Forum, join in on live pop-up theater performances, and experience hands-on activities on American identity and our hopes for the future.

Keep the partying going past sunset with the National Museum of the American Latino's special evening program on Friday, June 19th: Discoteca del Sol featuring DJ Adrian Collazo and Orquesta Manplesa. Explore how salsa dura and 70's orchestral disco converge to define the sound of an era!

Her grandmother Jennie Napua Woodd, encouraged her to pursue ha‘i, often translated as “catch” or “break”, a Hawaiian vocal tradition of falsetto singing. Hānaialiʻi is known for reviving ha‘i, through her prolific recording career and sold-out performances around the world.

Her success as a recording artist speaks for itself and is evidenced by a multitude of awards and acknowledgements, including 6 GRAMMY® nominations for Best Hawaiian Music Album & Best Native Roots Music Album. Amy is Native Hawaiian, Ojibwe, and of Norwegian and European English descent. Her talent emerges from disciplined classical training, fused powerhouse vocals, and honoring her family’s worldly heritage and rooted ancestral responsibility. Amy is a soul singer and sings in many different genres. Amy’s albums have garnered 18 Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards – Hawai’i’s equivalent to the GRAMMY® awards. On June 12, Hānaialiʻi will be inducted into the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame.

It’s 1962, and TV dance shows are sweeping the nation. Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad’s (Ricki Lake) dream of becoming a local dance queen kicks off more than a dance battle —-it ignites a fight for racial desegregation within the city itself.

Written and directed by John Waters, Hairspray is a sweetly satirical look back at the conventions, structures, and challenges of the 1960s. While only a moderate success at the box office at the time, the film became a cult classic on VHS. It was adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical in 2002, which itself was adapted into a musical film of the same name in 2007. In 2022 the Library of Congress selected Hairspray (1988) for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Hairspray is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association.

Curator Anya Montiel (Mestiza/Tohono O'odham descent) offers a closer look at the museum’s special installation Making a Statement, which demonstrates how Native women combine traditional design elements with modern military symbolism to demonstrate cultural pride and honor military service. The installation features a historical Lakota beaded dress decorated with elaborate patriotic American imagery and a blue jingle dress made by members of the Native American Women Warriors to show pride in their Indigenous heritage and to emphasize the role of Native women in the military. Then, get hands-on to learn more about beadwork, jingle cones, and other design elements related to Native dressmaking in the museum’s Teaching Collection.

Beginning in Sandy Spring, MD, Cohen traveled nearly 1,500 miles to his destination in Amherstburg, Ontario. Along the way Cohen searched for the remains of mansions, shacks and other hideaways that once provided shelter to those in need along the Underground Railroad. In 1998 Cohen embarked on a second journey, this time tracing routes from Mobile, AL to Windsor, Ontario.

In 2026, in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the initial journey, Cohen has again taken to the road to remind all of us of the importance of this history. The film footage that Cohen took in 1996 and 1998, which was intended to be used for a documentary, represents primary documentation of historic sites (many of which no longer exist) and has been digitized and preserved by the Earl W. and Amanda Stafford Center for African American Media Arts (CAAMA) at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It will be screened and shared with the audience as Cohen discusses his experiences on the Underground Railroad.","locationType":"In-Person","location":"","webLink":"tickets.si.edu…","startDateTime":"2026-06-20T16:00:00","endDateTime":"2026-06-20T18:00:00","dateTimeFormatted":"Saturday, June 20, 2026, 4 – 6 p.m. EDT","allDay":false,"startTimeZoneOffset":"-0400","endTimeZoneOffset":"-0400","canceled":false,"openSignUp":false,"reservationFull":false,"pastDeadline":false,"pastCancelDeadline":false,"requiresPayment":false,"refundsAllowed":false,"waitingListAvailable":false,"eventImage":{"url":"https://www.trumba.com/i/DgCSOgamT3Uw1T%2ACLhFSSiPk.jpg","alt":"Tony Cohen near a statue of Harriet Tubman","size":{"width":1164,"height":859}},"detailImage":{"url":"https://www.trumba.com/i/DgCSOgamT3Uw1T%2ACLhFSSiPk.jpg","alt":"Tony Cohen near a statue of Harriet Tubman","size":{"width":1164,"height":859}},"customFields":[{"fieldID":11165,"label":"Sponsor","value":"African American History and Culture Museum","type":17},{"fieldID":10831,"label":"Event Location","value":"Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center, 825 Depot Ave, Niagara Falls, NY 14305","type":0},{"fieldID":12112,"label":"Cost","value":"Free","type":1},{"fieldID":10883,"label":"Get Tickets/Register","value":"tickets.si.edu…","type":6},{"fieldID":11153,"label":"Categories","value":"Lectures & Discussions","type":17}],"permaLinkUrl":"https://www.si.edu/events?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D201711807","eventActionUrl":"https://www.trumba.com/eventactions/smithsonian-events#/actions/m0bxx378hjdwz4e968gur4m8vm","categoryCalendar":"African American History and Culture Museum|One-Time Events","registrationTransferTargetCount":0,"regAllowChanges":true},{"eventID":203439944,"template":"Smithsonian Event","title":"Asia After Dark | Smithsonian Solstice","description":"Celebrate the longest day of the year with after-hours access to the museum, a DJ dance party, a cafe popup, and exclusive gallery tours and talks!

Shub grew up in Fort Erie, on the border between Ontario and Buffalo, New York, as a Mohawk and a member of the Turtle Clan of the Six Nations of the Grand River. When Shub realized that the typical tempo of a dubstep track, 140 BPM, mirrored that of the grass dance songs he'd heard at community gatherings, he combined the two to create a new sound— PowWow Step. A trailblazer and a founding member of A Tribe Called Red, Shub brings his award-winning and genre-defining sound to the museum along with dancers to energize the crowd. Show off your moves solo or bring a friend to join you on the dance floor!

William Blake, a leading Romantic artist and poet, fused image and text in his “illuminated books,” inspired by medieval manuscripts. These illustrated volumes let him confront themes of religion, poverty, inequality, and human existence. His etched poems and images created a true union of painting and poetry, most famously in Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. Art historian David Gariff offers insights into Blake’s achievements as both poet and artist. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Andrew Wyeth, a leading 20th-century American realist, drew lifelong inspiration from the rural worlds of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and Cushing, Maine. Though labeled a realist, he viewed himself as an abstractionist, stripping away detail to reveal emotional truth. His output spans drawings, watercolors, drybrush, and tempera, depicting landscapes, still lifes, and local people with empathy. Art historian Bonita Billman highlights a range of works from Wyeth’s extraordinary oeuvre. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Historian Colin Elliott traces Rome’s shift from the long stability of the Pax Romana to a period of invasions, civil wars, economic strain, and plague. Despite dynastic collapse and fragmentation, the empire showed remarkable resilience. By 285, what survived was no longer the classical empire of senators and citizen-legions, but a more centralized, militarized state strong enough to survive the collapse of the West and carry the Roman name for another thousand years in the East.

Disneyland’s 1955 debut revealed the hidden world of automation by turning postwar industrial and military technologies into imaginative attractions. Historian Roland Betancourt examines how Disney engineers adapted tools like missile-testing magnetic tape and programmable logic controllers to animate experiences from the Enchanted Tiki Room to Space Mountain. He argues these innovations eased public anxieties about automation while reflecting broader technological shifts—from factory systems to emerging AI—tracing how Disneyland reshaped cultural understanding of machines and modernity.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK

Guest educators from the National Museum of Asian Art (NMAA) will help us cool off from the summer heat with a story about water. We’ll discover how artists with work on view at both the Hirshhorn and NMAA are inspired by water and take inspiration ourselves through movement and art activities.

After the program, head over to the NMAA’s exhibition Into the Waters with Senju and Bingyi: Two Contemporary Paintings to continue appreciating water’s many wonders.

Featured book: Almost Nothing, Yet Everything: A Book about Water by Hiroshi Osada, illustrated by Ryoji Arai, translated by David Boyd
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.

There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.

No pre-registration is required.

Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity.

We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu.
Everyone is welcome.

Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
THIS WEEK

Guest educators from the National Museum of Asian Art (NMAA) will help us cool off from the summer heat with a story about water. We’ll discover how artists with work on view at both the Hirshhorn and NMAA are inspired by water and take inspiration ourselves through movement and art activities.

After the program, head over to the NMAA’s exhibition Into the Waters with Senju and Bingyi: Two Contemporary Paintings to continue appreciating water’s many wonders.

Featured book: Almost Nothing, Yet Everything: A Book about Water by Hiroshi Osada, illustrated by Ryoji Arai, translated by David Boyd
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience.

There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour.

No pre-registration is required.

Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session.

Storytime Studio has limited capacity.

We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting HMSGEducation@si.edu.
Everyone is welcome.

Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.

Since the Victorian era, the London Underground has shaped daily life in the city. It also served as the first model for modern subway systems. From smoke-filled, steam-powered trains to today’s 11-line, 250-mile network, the Underground has been central to London’s growth. Writer Christian Wolmar traces this evolution through electrification, world wars, and 21st-century expansion and highlights key visionaries who helped make the Underground possible.

The American War of Independence freed the 13 British colonies in North America from Crown rule and set the stage for the United States’ bold experiment in self-government. Drawing on primary sources, historian Christopher Hamner traces the war from its roots in the crises of the 1770s through the opening campaigns of the conflict, culminating in the American victories at Trenton and Princeton and an examination of British strategy in a springtime series. This session focuses on the British strategy during the American Revolution.

Fra Angelico, born Guido di Pietro, began as a quiet Dominican friar illuminating manuscripts before Medici patronage drew him into Renaissance Florence’s artistic energy. In the 1430s, the new monastery of San Marco became his canvas, where he transformed austere cells into luminous frescoes that blended the divine and the human. Art historian Laura Morelli examines his life, his masterworks at San Marco, and the unique convergence of faith, talent, and support that shaped his enduring devotional style. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

Atmospheric scientist Edward Graham leads a 4.6-billion-year exploration of Earth’s climate, using geology to decode the planet’s earliest, alien environments. He traces how life gradually transformed the atmosphere, raising oxygen levels and shaping a blue sky. He also considers the important lessons from a study of past Earth climate to understand the escalating climate crisis of the Anthropocene.

Join us for a musical program that traces the evolution of the blues from its rural Southern roots to its electric and urban transformation. Guided by guitarist and vocalist David B. Cole, the show will unfold as a living history lesson—told through sound, storytelling, and stylistic shifts.  
 
Country blues will evoke the raw emotional landscapes of early blues traditions. Sparse rhythms, call-and-response phrasings, and heartfelt vocals echo the experiences of rural life.

Join us for a musical program that traces the evolution of the blues from its rural Southern roots to its electric and urban transformation. Guided by guitarist and vocalist David B. Cole, the show will unfold as a living history lesson—told through sound, storytelling, and stylistic shifts.  
 
Country blues will evoke the raw emotional landscapes of early blues traditions. Sparse rhythms, call-and-response phrasings, and heartfelt vocals echo the experiences of rural life. Between songs, artists will offer brief reflections on the origins of the blues, the role of oral tradition, and the music’s connection to everyday struggle and resilience.

This deliciously twisty thriller from master director Park Chan-wook (No Other Choice) garnered loads of awards, including the Best Director prize at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. A married detective (Park Hae-il) falls for an enigmatic femme fatale played with elegant panache by Tang Wei (Lust, Caution) in what The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis calls a “heady, baroque mystery infused with the kind of old-fashioned romantic fatalism that makes noir-darkened hearts flutter.” The encounter sets off a serpentine plot probing its characters’ dark impulses toward violence, treachery, and betrayal, all filmed in Park’s characteristically lush, ravishing style.


Director: Park Chan-wook. Country: Korea. Released: 2022. Length: 139 min. Format: DCP. Language: Korean and Mandarin with English subtitles.

The week of the Fourth of July is the perfect time for campers to explore the history of our nation’s beginning. They view the original Star–Spangled Banner and visit exhibits in the American History Museum, as well as some of the National Mall’s famous monuments. They sing the National Anthem and other traditional patriotic songs, and make their own flags, noisemakers, pinwheels, and fireworks—inspired art for an all–American show–and–share at the end of the week.

Stories allow cultures and traditions to be present in our modern day. They allow those who are unheard to be heard. Stories allow our imaginations to soar. They are important to be heard and to be told. Campers explore the world of storytelling around the globe. They learn of its history, variety of methods, components of a good story and the importance of preservation. Through museum visits, games and discourse, inspired campers then take their turn to be the story creators and tellers.

Robert Watson, Distinguished Professor of American History at Lynn University, reveals the lesser-known stories, surprising twists, and forgotten voices behind the most iconic document in U.S. history. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources—including letters, diaries, newspapers, and diplomatic communiqués—he reconstructs the debates, drafts, and drama that surrounded the creation of the Declaration of Independence. Focusing on the influence of women, enslaved individuals, and Indigenous peoples, Watson brings to light the varied cast of often-forgotten characters and perspectives that shaped the American experiment in his book, Declaration: The Story of American Independence.

APPLICATION DEADLINE extended to April 15th, 2026

Join educators from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and renowned historian Dr. Kate Masur for a deep dive into the era of Reconstruction in and around Washington, D.C.

This year’s celebrations of America 250 invite us to consider the long history of struggle for a “more perfect union.” Participants will take an in-depth look at the changes brought about by the Civil War, especially how African Americans, many newly freed from slavery, built lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. The framing text will be Freedom Was in Sight! A Graphic History of Reconstruction in the Washington D.C. Region, written by Dr. Masur with illustrator Liz Clarke.

This seminar looks at Reconstruction through a local lens while drawing connections to the national story of the years following the Civil War and the end of slavery. Historians and others have called this period the nation’s “Second Founding” and an “unfinished revolution.” Participants will assess the era’s many transformations, including the landmark 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments.

Throughout the week, sessions will include content delivered by Dr. Masur and other educators, opportunities for discussion, and trips to historic sites in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area where participants will meet with curators, historians, and other experts in historical interpretation. Facilitators will also offer strategies for effective history teaching and activities designed to meet teachers' personal and professional enrichment goals.

Through visits to museums, campers explore the evolution of birds from prehistoric times, the principles of flight, and their migration habits.

They hurl themselves off cliffs, leap onto charging horses, endure punches and dynamite blasts, and occasionally find themselves dangling from the wings of aircraft. They’re stuntmen and stuntwomen, people who substitute for leading actors in highly dangerous filming situations.

Long before modern art found its home in museums, it thrived in salons, collections, and networks cultivated by women. From gatherings in Europe to avant-garde circles in early 20th-century New York, these women nurtured artists, championed emerging talent, and shaped the tastes that defined modern culture. In a 3-session series, art historian Jennie Hirsh highlights the salonnières and patrons who forged spaces where innovation flourished. This session focuses on Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, Lillie P. Bliss, Peggy Guggenheim. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1/2 credit)

His analysis of what the expedition’s six journal keepers included in their entries—and what they did not—offers a deeper understanding of the greatest land exploration in North America.

Costume design shapes character and story by using clothing to signal background, personality, status, and emotional tone while grounding a film’s time and place. In Hollywood’s studio era, vast wardrobe departments created glamorous, idealized looks that often influenced real-world fashion. As independent cinema grew, looks shifted toward realistic, character-driven choices. Working closely with actors and drawing on custom pieces or existing garments, designers help performers inhabit their roles, a process Nancy Friedland of Columbia University traces through American film history.

Founded by the hermit monks of San Girolamo in 1396 in Venice, the Church of San Sebastiano can be described as Venetian artist Paolo Veronese’s “Sistine Chapel.” The church houses a cycle of paintings that are the most important works Veronese created. Other notable works found in the church and sacristy include Titian's St. Nicholas and works by Paris Bordone, Jacopo Tintoretto, and Bonifacio de' Pitati.

Americans have long been fascinated by the disappearance of the Roanoke colony, founded on the Outer Banks of modern North Carolina in the mid-1580s. But it was not the only European colony to be abandoned. Historian Peter C. Mancall explores Roanoke and other lesser-known examples of disappeared colonial efforts, from Nunavut (Baffin Island) in the 1570s to the coast of Maine in 1606/1607 and as far south as the Atlantic coasts of northeastern South America.

“What is the Pinned Insect Digitization Conveyor?”

With more than 35 million specimens, the Smithsonian insect collection is one of the largest entomology collections in the world. It is an archive of global insect biodiversity, shedding light on the most diverse group of animals on the planet. Making such a sprawling collection, and the trove of scientific data it contains, accessible to researchers around the world is a challenge the museum facing head on.  

Entomologist Dr. Torsten Dikow is part of the team currently working to digitize a large swath of the collection’s pollinating insect specimens using the museum’s Pinned Insect Digitization Conveyor, a state-of-the-art system that has never before been used in North America. Torsten will discuss the How and Why of digitizing more than 325,000 bees, flies, butterflies and beetles and their associated data labels. He will also explore the importance of making all of this data accessible to science and the public given the vital role insect pollinators play in natural environments.

Registration is encouraged. Space is filled on a first come first served basis.

Explore the brilliance of Louis Comfort Tiffany, a leading figure of late-19th and early-20th-century American design. Known for his stained-glass windows, signature lamps, and innovative glasswork, Tiffany transformed decorative arts into fine art through his bold experimentation with color and light.

Philosopher Ben Bramble argues that we are often told humanity’s destiny lies beyond Earth—complete with Martian cities, asteroid mining, lunar industries, and even “backup planets.” Drawing on his book Lunacy: Ten False Promises of the New Space Age, he contends that many of these visions rest on misunderstandings about risk, progress, and what truly makes a human future genuinely good. If we care about humanity’s long-term flourishing, he suggests we should look less to Mars—and more carefully at our own planet.

The War of 1812 is among the most misunderstood wars in American history. Historian Richard Bell argues its causes, course, and consequences have long been obscured by the American Revolution and the Civil War. More than the conflict that inspired the national anthem says Bell, it was a defining moment in a young republic, establishing American credibility abroad, securing independence, shaping national identity, entrenching states’ rights, and unleashing imperial ambitions—all at extraordinary human cost.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s life can be traced through the women who shaped him and the homes he created for them.

Between 1400 and 1800, the people of Europe, Africa, and the Americas grew more connected by overseas trade and colonization. According to historians Christopher Hodson and Brett Rushforth, accounts of this transformative era have overlooked the reach of the pre-Napoleonic French Empire. Hodson and Rushforth, authors of Beyond the Ocean: France and the Atlantic World from the Crusades to the Age of Revolutions, examine the significant role that France played in the history of the Atlantic world and the ways it shaped France in return.

From September to November 1918, a hard-fought World War I battle that pitted green, poorly equipped American doughboys against combat-hardened German troops saw the U.S. military come of age in the brutal clash known as the Battle of the Meuse–Argonne. The U.S. Army pushed the Germans back and helped end World War I—succeeding where Allies had stalled for years. Military historian Mitchell Yockelson highlights key figures, including fighter ace Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, Cpl. Alvin York, Gen. John J. Pershing, Lt. Gen. Hunter Liggett, Capt. Harry S. Truman, Lt. Col. George S. Patton, and Col. Douglas MacArthur, the war’s most decorated soldier.

From heartfelt wedding songs to solemn funeral hymns, Volga Germans in Kansas depended on music to be a lifeline of connection—across generations, and sometimes across oceans—and to mark life’s most sacred movements. In this presentation, Jerry Braun shares the rich musical traditions of the Volga German community and highlights how music shaped the culture as people moved to the Kansas plains from Russia. Through a live vocal performance of traditional folk songs, audience members will discover the heart and soul of Volga German music and the artistry behind instruments like the dulcimer, accordion, dolcette, and harmonica.","locationType":"In-Person","location":"Newton Public Library

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year 79, it inadvertently preserved the most extensive and intact ruins anywhere in the ancient world. Drawing on the material remains of Herculaneum and Pompeii, historian Justin M. Jacobs paints a lively portrait of daily urban life in the Roman Empire. He explores the fascinating history of the earliest digs at these sites during the 18th century, when they were regarded as a private quarry of Roman antiquities for a Bourbon king.

Historian and author Steven J. Ross argues that antisemitism and racism intensified rather than subsided after World War II, with violent attacks spreading across U.S. cities and extremist groups more than doubling between 1940 and 1946. He highlights how Arnold Forster, George Mintzer, and James Sheldon—along with many others—infiltrated and disrupted these networks at personal risk. Their hidden efforts challenge the myth of the “Good War” and expose a largely forgotten fight against rising extremism.

Anne Hutchinson can be regarded as the founding mother of religious freedom in America, says historian and author Fred Zilian. In the 1630s, her outspoken theological views brought her into conflict with the Puritan leadership of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Tried for sedition and heresy in 1637–38, she was excommunicated from the church and banished from the colony. Zilian traces Hutchinson’s life and legacy.

The Homestead Act of 1862 offered 1.5 million families a path to the American Dream through 160-acre land grants that spurred mass migration and shaped U.S. identity. Historian Edward T. O’Donnell examines both the familiar narrative and the overlooked realities: many homesteaders failed; fraud and weak oversight let railroads and ranchers amass huge tracts; and the influx of white settlers intensified violent conflict with Native Americans, transforming the trans-Mississippi West.

Presidential pets have long doubled as furry diplomats, image-softeners, and windows into the private lives of America’s leaders. Historian Ken Walsh traces two centuries of animals in the White House—from Theodore Roosevelt’s menagerie of dogs, snakes, a badger and a bear, to FDR fiercely defending his dog Fala, to the Kennedy kids doting on their pony Macaroni outside the Oval Office. These stories reveal how animals at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue shape power, personality, and the public’s view of the presidency.

Paul Cézanne broke from artistic tradition with a radically new way of seeing, turning ordinary objects into subjects of wonder. While his peers pursued fleeting impressions, Cézanne emphasized solid forms, broad color planes, and shifting viewpoints, setting him apart from the Impressionists. Even as his work moved toward abstraction, he stayed rooted in the real. Art historian Aneta Georgievska-Shine explores his groundbreaking vision. (World Art History Certificate elective, 1 credit)

Both sides in the American Revolution knew the importance of firearms, artillery, and swords in making war.

Mid-20th-century American architects reshaped urban life by redefining modern design through new forms, materials, and structural experimentation. Art historian Jennie Hirsh highlights both iconic and overlooked projects—from homes and offices to civic and campus buildings—showing how figures like Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, Denise Scott Brown, I.M. Pei, and Eero Saarinen forged a distinct architectural vocabulary. Through examples in major cities, she traces how these practitioners balanced function, elegance, and human scale, leaving a lasting influence on the built environment.

In 1924 the French writer André Breton composed the first of several manifestos outlining a radical new approach to literature, painting, sculpture, film, and other forms: Artists should draw their inspiration from dreams and the unconscious, rather than academic training and rational thought. Christened Surrealism, it dominated avant-garde European and American art during the late 1920s and ’30s. Art historian Nancy G. Heller traces the evolution and influence of Surrealism from its beginnings in inter-war Europe through the first quarter of the 21st century. (World Art History Certificate elective, ½ credit)
