Thanks for coming here to share your ideas with us.

Here at the museum, we study history, but like you, we also live it.

We are all living through a historic moment as the country faces multiple crises: a global pandemic, political turmoil, economic uncertainty, climate change, and widespread protests against racial injustice. Just as you are dealing with these issues, so too are we as the museum’s staff. We’re thinking a lot about what we collect, what we exhibit, and what we present.

We want you to think with us about how we might respond as history shifts around us. So share your thoughts below. We’ll gratefully read all submissions but won’t share them without your approval.
