Weekly Informal Gallery Talks with Photographer Jim Blair

1:00 PM ET

Sponsored by:: Museum of Art

For more than thirty-five years, Jim Blair was one of the people who millions of National Geographic readers counted on each month to give them a sense of the greater world. His exhibition Being There: Photographs by James P. Blair documents the breadth of his career, and gives a sense of his dexterity, determination, and breadth of vision. His best images have become part of our visual lexicon and remind us that the world is a varied and stimulating place, sometimes breathtaking in its beauty and at other times heartbreaking in its degradation, but always informative.

Votes...for Women?

10:00 AM ET

While relatively few voices publicly questioned the prohibition against women voting in the decades following the country’s founding, most Americans did not wholeheartedly consider this question until the last century. This exhibit of vintage photographs, banners, and memorabilia coincides with the 100th anniversary of the campaign to ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. Free
