Who is the photographer for the new exhibit and what is the exhibit about?

The exhibit that begins on October 13, 2023 is from photographer Robert McNeely. You might not know his name, but you will recognize his subject. McNeely was the one photographer who covered the campaign of Bill Clinton when he was running for the office of President of the United States. Was he the only photographer taking pictures of the then soon-to-be leader of the free world? No, but McNeely was the only one taking the photos in black and white, the rest of the photographers were using color film.

Are McNealy's images the only ones that will be on display at the museum? No, there is also a fascinating installation that chronicles Dr. Frederick Cook's time spent in the Arctic in 1898.
