The History Of America In 101 Objects: Fascinating!

The Smithsonian's History of America in 101 Objects


Tuesday, November 12 at 7:00 pm
National Museum of American Jewish History, Philadelphia
Don’t miss this inside look at American History through the treasures of the Smithsonian, including objects currently on-view at the Museum.

The Museum enjoys a close partnership with the Smithsonian and has been honored to exhibit incredible objects from their collection, such as a vial of Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine, which is featured in The Smithsonian's History of America in 101 Objects.

Join author Richard Kurin, Smithsonian Under Secretary for History, Art, and Culture, as he shares this new book, which sheds remarkable new light on objects we think we know well, from Lincoln’s top-hat to Dorothy’s ruby slippers and Julia Child’s kitchen, including the often-astonishing tales of how each made its way into the collections of the Smithsonian.
