To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Museum of the American Revolution created The Declaration’s Journey, a landmark exhibition that traces the evolution and global impact of this founding document since 1776. The exhibition features artifacts, documents, and works of art related to the declarations of independence issued by France, Haiti, Mexico, Chile, Korea, and more.

As the Museum’s curators and scholarly committee worked to develop The Declaration’s Journey, it was clear that the international aspect of the story represented an exciting area of new research and presented opportunities for future study. To further explore the international impact of the Declaration, the Museum will host a two-day convening on Friday, Sept. 25, and Saturday, Sept. 26.

Join us for an exploration of how the Declaration influenced other independence movements in the 250 years since its proclamation.
