Several museum exhibitions have used our materials, including the Museum of Capitalism (inaugural exhibition), Toledo Museum of Art (George Bellows and New York, 1900-1930), the Minnesota Historical Society (World War I America), and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Detroit, USA) to name a few.

4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 This year, due to a generous gift, the Labadie Collection is commencing its first research fellowship. This will allow two or three people to visit for a longer time period in order to do deeper research.
