Ranging in subject matter from American history to Modern Art the fantastic gallery also included abundant information on artists and artistic movements, placing them in their historical contexts.
Some tidbits were learned:
-Perceived as timid, General Robert E. Lee was initially nicknamed "Granny Lee" who following the war admitted his support for abolishing slavery.
-The official copy of the Declaration of Independence was not signed until August 2nd.
-Benjamin Franklin was a beloved Ambassador to France leading many to comment to Americans "he was the best President you ever had."
