National Park Service Unveils New Underground Exhibit at Lincoln Memorial
The National Park Service is set to open a new underground exhibit space at the Lincoln Memorial, which has been hidden for over a century. This new museum experience, located in the undercroft of the memorial, will feature approximately 15,000 square feet of exhibit space. The project, costing nearly $69 million, is funded through a combination of federal funding and private donations, including a significant contribution from philanthropist David Rubenstein. The exhibit aims to provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the memorial's symbolism and historical significance, featuring multimedia projections and glass viewing areas. The Lincoln Memorial, since its opening in 1922, has been a significant site for public expression and historical events, such as Marian Anderson's 1939 performance and Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 'I Have a Dream' speech.
