Where: Tree of Generations
Duration: 30 minutes
Take an up-close look at the works featured in Shaping American Identity: The Art of the US Department of the Treasury. The historic pieces on loan from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's collection, many of them rarely displayed, helped define a shared visual language for the United States.
Led by curator Jason Vaughan, this talk traces how these bills, coins, posters, and paintings turned ideals into images seen across the nation.
Presented in collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
