The Declaration's Journey

To mark the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, the Museum presents a major special exhibition exploring the history and global impact of the Declaration of Independence from 1776 to today. The Declaration’s Journey, presented by Griffin Catalyst, showcases how, with more than 100 nations having integrated its ideals into their own independence movements, the American Declaration of Independence has become one of the most influential political documents in modern history. This visually captivating exhibition gathers together for the first time in one place some of the most important and rare documents, works of art, and artifacts from around the world that reflect the complex 250-year history and legacy of the Declaration of Independence.
