Museumverse—a research group dedicated to the advancement of emerging technologies in the humanities—presents Being at Home in Princeton, a multimedia exhibition that centers on Princeton’s African American history. Through archival photographs, paintings, and virtual reality, the show engages the history of the construction of Palmer Square, the resultant displacement of the town’s Black community, and the lived experiences of the residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. The exhibition invites the audience to reconsider Princeton’s local history and what it means to feel at home.

Please join us for an opening reception on October 3 at 5PM in the James S. Hall Memorial Gallery in Butler College.

The exhibition will be on display from October 3 to December 3.
