Power & Light: Russell Lee's Coal Survey
 is an exhibition of photographs of coal communities by American documentary photographer Russell Lee. These images tell the story of laborers who helped build the nation, of a moment when the government took stock of their health and safety, and of a photographer who recognized their humanity.
The exhibition features more than 200 of Russell Lee’s photographs of coal miners and their families in the form of large-scale prints, projections, and digital interactives from a nationwide survey of housing and medical and community facilities of bituminous coal mining communities.

All museum visits start at 1:00 pm on the Takoma Metro platform near the elevator.

We will take the first train after 1:00 pm.

Please bring a SmarTrip fare card.


There is a short walk from Metro to the museum.

Registration is encouraged. 

Note about the weather: 

 

The trip will be cancelled if the temperature is above 90.
