Join us for a reception to celebrate the opening of the New York State Museum’s newest exhibition: George Washington: An American Paradox.

George Washington has been celebrated as a hero of American independence and democracy. A closer look reveals a legacy marked by monumental achievements, but also by profound contradiction. Featuring compelling artifacts and stories, this exhibition highlights the diverse voices that shaped—and were shaped by—New York’s Revolutionary era. Engage with the enduring promises of liberty and freedom and consider how these ideals sparked movements for equality that continue today.

Enjoy light refreshments and a cash bar featuring Common Roots Brewing Company.
Presented by the Albany 250th Commission.
