"I've never been so moved by an exhibit. If you really want to understand the concept of freedom, you have to experience this." --Marvin from Lexington, Ky.

Upcoming Exhibitions

Textural Rhythms: Constructing the Jazz Tradition

Textural Rhythms explores the weaving together of two unique and popular artistic forms of African American culture – jazz and quilt-making – which come together to capture masterpieces of imagination and creativity through the complex bonding of rhythms and moods.

The Enemy Within: Terror in America, 1776 to Today

The Enemy Within will reveal nine major events and periods in U.S. History when Americans were threatened by enemies within its borders: depicting how the government and public responded, illustrating the corresponding evolution of U.S. counterintelligence and homeland security efforts, and examining the challenge of securing the nation without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded.

Invisible: Slavery Today

Invisible: Slavery Today is a new, permanent exhibition that will bring visitors face-to-face with the continuing travesty of contemporary slavery. The first museum-quality exhibition in the world on the subject of modern slavery, Invisible will show how forced labor and human trafficking make up a $32 billion illicit economy in which men, women and children are bought sold, and discarded. But it will also challenge visitors to take action to abolish modern-day slavery in their own communities and around the world.

Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center stands as the nation's newest monument to freedom. It brings to life the importance - and relevance - of struggles for freedom around the world and throughout history, including today. Made up of three buildings that symbolize the cornerstones of freedom - courage, cooperation and perseverance - the freedom center's curving architecture reflects the winding river and the often-changing path to freedom. Now as in the past, Cincinnati's location on the Ohio River puts it at the crossroads of freedom's journey. In the 1800's the city served as a major hub of activity on the Underground Railroad and its banks offered refuge to thousands seeking hope and a new way of life. Today, as the home of the freedom center, it acts as a beacon of light once more. Scroll down for a list of upcoming events!
