American Originals at Delaware Art Museum |
|
|
|
DELAWARE.- The Delaware Art Museum presents American Originals. This is 300 years of U.S. history reflected in original documents from the National Archives, including the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, Edison’s patent for the electric lamp, Delaware’s Ratification of the Constitution and Kennedy’s notes on his inaugural address.
The exhibit will also feature The Emancipation Proclamation, signed by President Lincoln. Because of it’s extremely fragile nature, it will be on view for four days only: September 30, October 1, 2, 3. This will be the first time in 55 years that this document has been exhibited in Delaware. After this exhibition, the document will not be available for viewing for an extended period of time even at the Archive
Both famous and rare, these documents provide unique insights into the towering figures and events that have shaped U.S. history. They represent the larger historical record held in trust for the American people by the National Archives.
This exhibition was created by the National Archives and Records Administration,
Washington, D.C. and the Foundation for the National Archives. In Delaware, this exhibition is presented by Delaware Department of State, Delaware Public Archives, Delaware Art Museum and Riverfront Development Corporation.
