Library of Congress Folklife Center at 50 Exhibition Alive in Many Hands Runs Through January 8, 2028 in Washington: Food, Play, Work and Place Themes
WASHINGTON, District of Columbia — The Library of Congress's exhibition Alive in Many Hands: The American Folklife Center at 50 opened to the public on September 17 in the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building and runs through January 8, 2028. According to the Library, the exhibition is the centerpiece of the year-long commemoration of the American Folklife Center's 50th anniversary; it is installed in the Southwest Exhibition Gallery on the second floor of the Jefferson Building, and an online version is available for those unable to visit in person.
The Library states that the exhibition explores the meaning of folklife through the themes of food, play, work and place, bookended by discussion of the ways folklife is shared and what visitors can do to help sustain folk traditions in their own communities. The American Folklife Center owes its existence to the American Folklife Preservation Act of 1976. The Veterans History Project, part of the Center, turned 25 in October 2025, and materials it has collected are among those featured in the exhibition; Center staff, including director Nicole Saylor, previewed objects and stories from the show ahead of its opening.
The Library of Congress describes itself as the world's largest library, offering access to its collections on site and online. Admission to the Jefferson Building is free, with timed-entry tickets and visiting information available at loc.gov/visit.
