Can seniors see any of this online for free?
Hi Eileen,
While the Museum is best experienced in-person, we do have some content available online through our virtual exhibits. This includes some temporary exhibits that are no longer on display and some of the content of our current temporary exhibit, Dark Testament: A Century of Black Writers on Justice. Our online exhibits are always free for everyone.
That’s awesome, thank you
