Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is announcing a new program series, Pandemic Perspectives: Stories through Collections.

 

Join curators and historians for an engaging series of panels offering perspectives on the current pandemic. Panelists will virtually share objects from the past as a springboard to a lively discussion of how to better understand the present. Audience questions are encouraged and will be addressed in the moderated dialogue.

We invite curious people to join us for interesting discussions exploring a diverse range of historical and contemporary topics, especially racial, economic/class, and gender inequalities exposed by pandemics and quarantines.
