For the first time in U.S. history, the entire United States Constitution is on display, to celebrate 250 years of American Freedom.
The four-page U.S. Constitution and the original Bill of Rights are surrounded by 17 Constitutional amendments, filling the Rotunda at the National Archives in Washington, DC in a dramatic, highly visual, and unprecedented display.
This historic, special display will also include the rarely displayed fifth page of the Constitution. This original document outlines a set of instructions to the States on how to implement the Constitution, signed by George Washington as President of the Constitutional Convention.
To give visitors more opportunities to see the special display, the National Archives Museum will have extended hours until 7:00 p.m. ET the weekends of Saturday, September 20 - Sunday, September 21, and Saturday, September 27 - Sunday, September 28.
To learn more about this exhibit, visit the National Archives Museum website.
