'First Ladies' exhibit makes its rounds
2006
Overview
The exhibit contains iconic items from Martha Washington to Laura Bush, featuring more than 150 artifacts, including 12 full-length gowns, state china and political campaign materials. The exhibit looks at the development of the first ladies' political role, how their public image changed over time and the women's lives after the White House. The National Museum of American History, where the exhibit has been on permanent display since 1992, is closed to the public through the summer of 2008 for major architectural renovations. The First Ladies traveling exhibit is the first time the gowns have been out of the Smithsonian exhibition, [Edith Mayo] says. The museum accommodated more than 24,000 visitors during the three months the exhibit was in St. Louis. The Heinz History Center expects to exceed its monthly average of 10,000 to 15,000 visitors while the First Ladies exhibit is in Pittsburgh.
