The newest exhibit at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, Residential to Presidential, explores the history of the house, its residents, and its role as a museum. Starting with its grand opening on January 26, 2023, the exhibit enables visitors to learn about what it takes to make a house a home and what it takes to make a home a Presidential Site. The exhibit will be open to the public and be included with general admission from January 27 through November 1, 2023. This exhibit is made possible through the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site’s New Century Curator collaboration with the IU Indianapolis Museum Studies program. The initiative seeks to share the Presidential Site’s nationally significant collection in meaningful and relevant ways, while providing unique opportunities for emerging museum professionals to engage in collaborative training, hands-on experience, conservation, preservation, and innovative exhibit design.
