Woodrow Wilson Presidential Memorial Exhibit Grand Opening
Showcasing the life and legacy of Woodrow Wilson, this new permanent exhibit features memorabilia, historical information, and a series of short films.
On October 7, 2008, to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars unveiled a new permanent exhibit depicting the life and legacy of Woodrow Wilson, America's 28th president. Memorabilia, historical information, and a series of short films are among the exhibit's main features, which together serve as a wonderful tribute to, and fascinating exploration of, President Wilson, both as a scholar and a politician.
The public opening of the exhibit took place from noon to 2 p.m. and included a ribbon cutting ceremony as well as remarks by Wilson Center Board of Trustees Chairman Joseph Gildenhorn, Wilson Center President and Director Lee H. Hamilton, and Dr. Fitz W.M. Woodrow Jr., a relative of Woodrow Wilson.
"We can think of no better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars than to open this permanent exhibit that pays tribute to the Center's namesake," said Hamilton. "We encourage everyone to visit this exhibit and to gain a better and deeper understanding of Woodrow Wilson."
The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Memorial Exhibit will be permanently housed next to the Center's Memorial Hallway. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Admission is free.
