On 1 July, the final chapter of The Jim Irsay Collection: Icons of History is unveiled — a treasure trove of documents, letters and artefacts that trace the American story through the objects that lived it.
From the 1823 Stone engraving of the Declaration of Independence and George Washington’s letter sending a copy of the Constitution to Thomas Jefferson, to a pair of tickets to Ford’s Theatre stamped for the night of Lincoln’s assassination and President John F. Kennedy’s rocking chair, these are objects that connect us directly to the people and moments that shaped a nation.
