Exhibition - Voices and Votes: Democracy in America

The Alice Austen House is thrilled to present the New York State tour of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service Museum on Main Street Program at St. John’s Eccleston Hall.

AAH is one of twelve museums participating in “A New Agora for New York: Museums as Spaces for Democracy,” organized by the Museum Association of New York (MANY) and will host the Voices and Votes exhibition for six weeks through January 2026.

Adapted from the exhibition American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith currently on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Voices and Votes includes many of the same dynamic features: historical and contemporary photographs; educational and archival video; engaging multimedia interactives, and historical objects like campaign souvenirs, voter memorabilia, and protest material.
