Dear Members & Friends,

History has a new story. New-York Historical’s newly renovated Henry Luce III Center for American Culture has reopened on our fourth floor with a stunningly designed gallery for our Tiffany lamps— and the story of the lamps’ women designers. The Luce Center also houses a reimagined and media- rich gallery for our permanent museum collection. Russell Shorto, author of Island at the Center of the World, Amsterdam, and the new Revolution Song (about which he will speak in our auditorium this fall) says it reminds him of Amsterdam’s renovated Rijksmuseum. High praise indeed, but we think you’ll agree, well-deserved.

A powerful and thought-provoking exhibition on the Vietnam War, the first-ever consideration by a major American museum, opens on October 4. A special exhibition in the new Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery commemorates the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York. A moving and important new show in the Pam and Scott Schafler Gallery features artist Arthur Szyk, a “one- man army” fighting militarism and racism during World War II. We are also proud to tell the story of America’s road from revolution to independence through an astonishing collection of rare and rarely viewed maps.

Under the leadership of our splendid Vice President for Public Programs Dale Gregory and Manager Alex Kassl, our new season’s public program series surpasses last year’s outstanding array. Many thanks to Trustee Bernard Schwartz for his generous, continuing support of our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series, which this year includes the nation’s leading scholars, as well as performer Judy Collins, discussing the Vietnam War Era.

There are two wonderful additions to our named speaker series this year: the Ann and Andrew Tisch Supreme Court Lecture features Justice Samuel Alito, and the Sandra and Richard Rippe Lecture in American History features Hamilton scholar Richard Brookhiser together with Dale Gregory.

We are thrilled to continue our History with David M. Rubenstein series, featuring Tom Brokaw in November and Ken Burns in January; our Mathew “Mike” Gladstein Lecture in Biography, featuring Ron Chernow; our Bonnie and Richard Reiss Lecture in Constitutional History and Law, featuring Jeffrey Toobin, among others; our Distinguished Lehrman Fellow series, featuring Andrew Roberts; and our Petraeus/Hertog Lecture on Leadership, featuring Max Boot in conversation with David Petraeus.

Many of you have told me how much you enjoy our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Classic Film Series on Friday nights. Another stellar season begins this fall, with films of the Vietnam War Era and classics of earlier times. New-York Historical Trustees Annette Gordon-Reed and Akhil Reed Amar, among other luminaries, join us as film and series presenters.
