Art imitates life. Or vice versa? 🤔 Take inspiration from our educators who took things to the next level by re-creating works centered on our collections. Masterpieces!⁣ Kionah and her family portrayed Katherine Schmidt's "Almeda's Daughter," 1937. #MuseumSelfieDay

100 years before Rosa Parks—there was Elizabeth Jennings. On July 16, 1854 she was violently prevented from boarding a streetcar labeled "whites only." She publicized the incident, sued the streetcar company, & won.

Why did this artist of this painting change it after 35 years? Answer: Needed the dog. ⁣ In this painting of his family, Charles Willson Peale repainted bits of the background, parts of his own image—& he added his beloved dog, Argus.⁣ #NationalDogDay
