As New York's oldest museum, the Albany Institute of History & Art knows a thing or two about history. This year, though, we lived in the present and prepared for the future. We hosted exhibitions that explored women's history, featured contemporary artists, and uncovered early American politics. We developed digital content to encourage creativity and curiosity at home with our Museum at Home initiative, and have shared art projects ideas, behind-the-scenes blog posts, virtual presentations with guest lecturers, insightful art videos, and more. We are working with community partners to grow into an organization that reflects all of the great strengths of our region.

Our future is with you! As we continue to respond to changes in our world and navigate new possibilities, we are encouraged by your support. Thank you for the creativity and curiosity you shared this year - we continue to be inspired by you! Please consider making an end-of-year gift today. Learn more.
