We invite you to join us on a guided tour where you can delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Clements’ early American history and culture collections. Experience the allure of our esteemed treasures, including the legendary painting “Death of General Wolfe” by Benjamin West, a remarkable trunk from the Revolutionary War era that once safeguarded General Gage’s papers, and much more!
You will have the opportunity to view the exhibit, "Living Photography: Finding Film History in the Archive." The exhibit aims to creatively expand accessibility for encountering archival materials in spaces like the Avenir Foundation Reading Room. Produced by a class dedicated to “hands-on” approaches to film history, we hope that visitors feel encouraged to watch, listen, touch facsimiles, move at a comfortable pace, pause, and revisit in whatever way makes the exhibit come most alive for you.
