On Sunday, August 3, at 9:30 a.m., join a Museum educator for a brief talk about the True Colours Project on display in the Museum’s Rotunda. Learn more about the replica flags draped around our staircase and how “suits of colours” were used in naval warfare during the American Revolution. Following the talk, enjoy early, exclusive access to our current special exhibition, Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags.
