SAAM Presents Temple of Invention
EXHIBITION
Now through July 8, 2007
This exhibition honors the completion of the building's glorious renovation and marks the 170th anniversary of President Andrew Jackson signing legislation that authorized the building's construction. Begun in 1836 and completed in 1868, it was the third public building constructed by the new nation in its capital city. This landmark was praised by Walt Whitman as the "noblest of Washington buildings" and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the United States. Charles Robertson, former deputy director at the museum and specialist in American decorative arts, is the guest curator of the exhibition.
