Special Exhibition: El Sueño Americano / The American Dream
During your visit, explore this deeply moving collection of photographs featuring the personal belongings of migrants apprehended at the U.S. border. Through the lens of these “discarded” items—from water bottles to rosaries—we are asked to consider the shared human desire for a better life and the complexities of the American Dream.
MLK Day programming at the Maltz Museum is made possible in part through the generous support of the Frida Klein Blum Memorial Fund of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
