Explore art, power, and revolutions that shaped the modern world…

Kings, Queens, and Guillotines

Step into a world of palaces, politics, and profound upheaval as we compare two nations, two monarchies, and two revolutions that changed history forever. Meet Georges III and Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and the legendary Queen of Hearts, and trace the intertwined fates of Britain and France in an era of rising tensions and radical change. Along the way, we’ll examine ambitious leaders -from the emperor-to-be Napoleon to the man who refused a crown, George Washington – and the chilling rise of the guillotine. It’s a dramatic tale of power, revolution, and the dawn of a new-world order.

“Painting” the American Revolution

Uncover surprising stories behind iconic works, highlight artists who influenced public opinion, and even reveal what “macaroni” really meant in the song Yankee Doodle. (Go ahead – try not to hum it!) Join us for a colorful look at how creativity helped spark a revolution.
