Major new exhibitions on both sides of historic 10th Street create a virtual “Lincoln Campus” in the heart of Washington, DC. Arranged as a “Drama in Four Acts”, visitors experience the events of April 14, 1865 unfolding before them while exploring Lincoln’s lasting legacy.
Installed in historic buildings, the exhibitions are thoughtfully designed to accommodate a million annual visitors.
TOWER OF BOOKS | Symbolic of our continuing fascination with a historical figure about whom the last word will never be written, an unending stack of books encompasses just some of the 15,000 volumes about Lincoln and rises four floors through the heart of the circular staircase that connects the exhibits and other public areas. A powerful unifying element in its own right, the Tower of Books also serves to transition visitors from the historical narrative of the Fourth Floor to the more thematic, open-ended approach on the floors below.
New titles are periodically added to the sculpture, creating an ever-changing monumental work of art.
