Civic Season 2026

Each year, the museum joins hundreds of other museums, cultural and civic organizations across the country in celebrating and recognizing Civic Season, Juneteenth (June 19) to July 4. In a collaboration with Made By Us—a national coalition working with the next generation to shape the future through history—the museum will offer a gathering space for reflection and informal conversation with curators and community leaders. This year, as the nation is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the museum will host daily drop-in programs connected to the “In Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness” exhibition.
