A Space for Dialogue Gallery Talk: "Class, Community, and Commute"
The museum's Mellon Special Project Intern Javier Baluyut ’26 will discuss his student-curated exhibition that explores depictions of travel in the late 19th and 20th centuries through the lens of American culture and class.

American travel culture has likewise evolved to serve the needs of its modern population, supporting a vast nest of public roads and highways at odds with a sparse passenger railway and underdeveloped public transportation networks.
