Inventing America: The Comic Book Revolution

Explore the United States in the twentieth century through the lens of the American art form: the comic book. Inventing America: The Comic Book Revolution examines how this art form became a revolutionary cultural medium, shaping national identity through distinctive stories and characters. Featuring original artwork and rare artifacts, the exhibition connects comic storytelling to defining national experiences: World War II, the social upheavals of the 1960s, the cultural impact of pop art and hip-hop, and ongoing movements for justice and equality.
