The National Constitution Center presents the summer’s headlining exhibition, Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon, officially opening to the public on Friday, July 1.
The exhibition grants visitors an incredible glimpse into the life of George Washington with more than 100 objects including architectural models, pieces of the family’s fine art collection, personal artifacts and three stunning, life-size figures. The exhibit highlights Washington’s roles as an entrepreneur, farmer and businessman through his collection of fine art, maps, manuscripts and more.
Washington was plagued with dental problems throughout his life, requiring specially made sets of dentures. One of Washington’s specialized sets of teeth, composed of ivory, human and animal teeth, will be on display at the exhibit.
