Postwar and Contemporary America: from 1945:
Cold and "hot" wars cast long shadows across the exuberance of post–World War II prosperity, while social, cultural, and technological revolutions changed how and where we live. In the 21st century, America continues to grapple with complex social, economic, and political issues in an increasingly interconnected world. Scientific and medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, political and social change, and popular culture characterize the objects in this final section of the exhibition. |
