Private Tour of "The Two Georges: Parallel Lives in an Age of Revolutions" Exhibition

  • Library of Congress - Thomas Jefferson Building 10 First Street, SE Washington, DC 20540 United States (map)

Join fellow Dames for a private tour of The Two Georges: Parallel Lives in an Age of Revolution, led by author-curators Zach Klitzman and Susan Reyburn. This remarkable exhibition brings together, for the first time, rare archival materials from three extraordinary collections:

  • George Washington’s papers from the Library of Congress

  • George III’s scientific instruments from the Science Museum Group in London

  • George III’s papers from the Royal Collection and Royal Archives

Together, these objects illuminate the parallel lives of two men born just six years apart and shaped by empire, the Enlightenment, and revolution. Following the tour, we will walk to The Capitol Hill Club for a private lunch graciously hosted by Connie Harriman.
