A New Birth of Freedom

The Victims of Communism Museum is proud to host our latest temporary gallery, A New Birth of Freedom, that explores America’s past, present, and future. Curated by the American Journey Experience, the exhibit invites visitors to learn about the principles that shape a free society, in stark contrast to the oppressive ideology of communism.  

This is not simply history on display; it is a story to wrestle with and reflect upon. Visitors will walk through the struggles of Jamestown, where a communal system led to starvation and despair, stand with the Pilgrims, whose faith carried them through a devastating first winter, and encounter the bold words of Thomas Jefferson.  
 
This exhibition is both remembrance and invitation. As you move through it, we ask you to reflect on a profound idea: America is not merely a place on a map – it is a set of principles. And the endurance of that idea depends on those willing to understand it, preserve it, and defend it.  

The exhibit is open Tuesday-Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and runs through August 21, 2026. Admission is free. We hope to see you there.
