From the Magazine: Some of the most beloved objects in Washington museums are not as authentic as visitors might assume
On the second concourse of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, you can view Panel No. 1 of Jacob Lawrence’s 60-painting “Migration Series.” Installed as part of the exhibit “Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom,” the painting addresses the northern migration of millions of African Americans after World War I — showing throngs of abstracted figures largely rendered in green and black filing through a train station, bound for Chicago, New York and St. Louis.
As I was leaving a small one-room exhibit, “Stories on Money,” at the American History Museum, which consists of about 100 paper bills and coins displayed in glass cases, I noticed one of the bills bore a “reproduction” label — but if visitors don’t look at it from the right angle, the light obscures that cautionary word.
