Now on view: Archives Month: Staff Favorites (September 15–October 16)
We’re kicking off Archives Month a little early with an exhibit that highlights staff-selected favorites from across our collections—items that spark curiosity, tell powerful stories, or simply bring us joy.
Coming soon: Bring Out Your Dead: Death, Art, and the Macabre in the Archives (October 20 – November 14)
This exhibit features E.-H. Langlois’s Essai Historique Philosophique et Pittoresque sur les Danses des Morts (1852) from the Wildenstein Plattner Library Collection. Langlois’ work traces Europe’s centuries-long obsession with the Danse Macabre—where skeletons mingled with popes and peasants, showing that in the end, death comes for everyone.
