RBG AT HOLOCAUST MUSEUM
On display now at Holocaust Museum Houston is ‘Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,’ a trailblazer whose life’s work involved fighting for women’s rights.
The exhibition’s three-dimensional environments will bring key moments to life, such as recreations of Justice Ginsburg’s childhood Brooklyn apartment and of the Supreme Court bench, where visitors can take a seat and imagine making their own opinions heard.
Other highlights include parts of her Supreme Court wardrobe; multiple listening stations where visitors can hear RBG’s delivery of oral arguments, and official portraits of RBG and Sandra Day O’Connor, the first two women to serve on the Supreme Court.
Holocaust Museum Houston is the only Texas location to host this vibrant exploration of the life of this cultural icon, on view through July 31.
