Prepare to Celebrate 250 Years of American Voices, Stories, and Histories with ExhibitsUSA!
July 4, 2026, marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Commemorate this historic milestone with an exhibition that honors the people and communities who have shaped American life.
Celebrate the integral contributions of immigrant communities by hosting Working America, or explore the ingenuity and solidarity of post–World War II communities in Thrift Style.
The modern film industry was shaped in the United States, exemplified by Backstage Hollywood and the heyday of studio movie stars. Jazz, America’s original art form, and its celebrated greats take the spotlight in Shutter and Sound.
Our country also gave birth to rock and roll, and 1968: A Folsom Redemption provides a behind-the-scenes look at Johnny Cash’s legendary comeback—one of the greatest in American music history.
The Antarctic Treaty, spearheaded by the US government, positioned Antarctica as a model of international cooperation, dedicated to scientific discovery and environmental preservation.
Walking in Antarctica immerses viewers in this spirit of exploration through photography, sculpture, and audio storytelling, revealing remote landscapes rarely seen by the public.
ExhibitsUSA is also proud to tour exhibitions that honor the journeys of Americans, who in spite of oppression and discrimination, have enriched every part of our nation’s culture.
From the brilliant artistry of third-generation Japanese Americans coming to terms with the effect of Executive Order 9066 in Resilience—A Sansei Sense of Legacy; to the eye-catching photography, leadership focus, and special interest stories told from a Black perspective in People Who Make the World Go ‘Round; to the vivid visual story of the evolution of the civil rights movement in the American South displayed in I AM A MAN, these stories are OUR stories.
“America’s 250th anniversary is about more than reflecting on our past, it’s about honoring the contributions of individuals who built this country, the innovations that put this country on the map and a man on the moon, and imagining what the next 250 years might look like for our children and the generations to come.”
— Rosie Rios, Chair, US Semiquincentennial Commission
