History has its eyes on you! One year ago today, Hamilton: The Exhibition opened!
Awesome telling of out early history
I simply loved Hamilton: The Exhibition‼️So rich and rewarding to go deeper in our American Revolutionary history and specifically the story of Alexander Hamilton. So sorry you’re leaving Chicago so soon (I live in Wisconsin) and I wish you all well in your next location ☺️✨💫
All
Absolutely awesome. Go see it!
Absolutely amazing ❤️
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! All the way from Philadelphia!
We just went yesterday -- it is so thoughtfully and beautifully done. I really hope it finds a permanent home so people can still have the opportunity to have this experience.
What is going on with the Exhibition ? I was planning to visit in the fall, but now see it's suddenly closing , ahead of the original advertised date ! There seems to be no plan in place of future dates, places etc etc .
Will the exhibit continue after Sept 8th ? I would like to go , but can't get there till the end of September .
Great exhibit. Well worth the trip. Informative, engaging, and entertaining. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Very balanced historical perspective. It was sobering to see the mixed views many American dignitaries held of Hamilton, particularly Truman who I otherwise adore. It was also interesting to note that for all of Hamilton’s great ideas, he had some bad ones as well (Executive for life, opposition to the Bill of Rights, etc). Fortunately, he lost the debates on most of his bad ideas, this was true of many of the Founders and is part of the greatness of America and a lesson to all of us: If these otherwise great men were frequently wrong in some of their deeply held convictions , what does it is say about most of our deeply flawed modern politicians? Or about ourselves? I think the lesson is that the best results come from vigorous, honest, and open debate. We need more of this. In all facets of our life.
Since so many will take this exhibit as a history lesson, I appreciated that LMM clearly noted where he took some artistic license with history for good of the show. This was refreshing. One historical nit, that I hope is corrected , especially if the exhibit ever tours nationally, involves the slavery exhibit. The graphic related to flow of slaves from Africa to the Western Hemisphere missed an opportunity to show depths of Brazil’s role in the Atlantic slave trade. It gave the impression that the 10MM slaves were transported exclusively to the colonies and the West Indies. In truth, the majority were destined for Central and South America (particularly Brazil). While still horrific, the British Colonies’ involvement in the slave trade was dwarfed by what the Spanish and Portuguese did in Central and South America. I am hopeful that the curators will consider correcting this representation.
All in all though, a throughly enjoyable exhibit. First class, with something for everyone.
After we saw Hamilton in New York on Friday evening we flew back to Chicago and visited the Exhibitation on Tuesday. Fun weekend w/the grand-girl.
