Library of Congress exhibit collects the memories of a nation
Briefly

The exhibition 'Collecting Memories: Treasures from the Library of Congress' emphasizes understanding through context, featuring 127 unique artifacts, including James Madison's flute and Lincoln's handwritten Gettysburg Address.
Each of the artifacts in the exhibit serves as a touchstone for cultural memory, interconnected not only by their historical significance but also through the emotional narratives they evoke, adding depth to the viewing experience.
The rotating nature of the exhibition, with objects changing every six months, ensures ongoing engagement with the collection, reflecting the Library's commitment to preserving and presenting a diverse cultural heritage.
Positioned in the newly established David M. Rubenstein Treasures Gallery, this inaugural exhibition invites visitors to explore a rich variety of formats, including moving images and a unique audio sampler from the Voyager space missions.
