Welcome to the Museum of the American Revolution’s virtual tour of our past special exhibition, Liberty: Don Troiani's Paintings of the Revolutionary War. Immerse yourself in 360-degree panoramic gallery images, high-resolution photos of the art and artifacts, and a guided audio tour of the dramatic, research-based works of nationally renowned historical artist Don Troiani to bring compelling stories about the diverse people and complex events of the American Revolution to life.

How to Use

An Immersive Tour of Liberty

The first major exhibition of Troiani’s original artwork, Liberty plunged on-site visitors, and continues to plunge online visitors, into some of the most pivotal events of America’s fight for independence and reveals Troiani’s research-based artistic process. This special exhibition brought together for the first time in public more than 45 of Troiani’s original Revolutionary War paintings and pairs them with dozens of artifacts from his personal collection as well as the Museum and other lenders. His paintings capture the reality and drama of crucial moments such as the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill, General Washington’s daring 1776 attack on Trenton, the 1777 Battles of Saratoga and Oriskany, and the Franco-American victory at Yorktown in 1781.
