New Exhibit – The Four Freedoms: Real and Imagined

Opens April 5

In the January 1941 State of the Union Address, President Franklin D. Roosevelt identified the "Four Freedoms," essential human rights that should be universally protected. American artist Norman Rockwell later illustrated these rights as aspects of daily American life. Rockwell's paintings were mass-produced on magazine covers and propaganda posters to promote the war effort.

The Museum has partnered with the Spring 2023 Introduction to Museum Studies class. This exhibit explores and contextualizes the Four Freedoms by comparing the ideals depicted by Rockwell with the people's experiences in the United States during WWII. 

New Exhibit – All Conquering, Undefeatable: Major General Harry Hawkins Vaughan 

Opens April 5

Missourian, Westminster College Alum, and Military Aide to President Truman, Major General Harry Vaughan was instrumental in inviting Winston Churchill to deliver the lecture that would become known as the Iron Curtain Speech.

The Museum Studies Collections and Archives class has worked with ANCM to curate this exhibit on the vast life and career of Vaughan. Drawing from the Museum's collection of objects and archives donated by Vaughan and his family, the exhibit highlights the power of his position, his noteworthy cohort, and his highly acclaimed military career.
