National Constitution Center

The National Constitution Center will take the lead role in producing a signature Civil War exhibition that is being coordinated by a statewide coalition. The exhibition is scheduled to open in the spring of 2011 and then travel for four years in conjunction with the Civil War Sesquicentennial. The exhibition will be hosted by the center’s two formal partners—the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg and the Senator John Heinz Center in Pittsburgh—before embarking on a tour across the nation and, perhaps, abroad. The Center will identify and acquire appropriate artifacts for the exhibition, create content outlines and research briefs, and arrange loan agreements.
