Faces From An American Dream exhibit

by Martin Desht, Photographer

September 1st - December 28th, 2024

For much of the 20th century, Pennsylvania was the most heavily and diversely industrialized state in America. By the 1980’s, the state became an example of Rust Belt de-industrialization, as the US economy shifted from industrial manufacturing to service and information. Through black-and-white photographs, this exhibit depicts how this transition re-defined the American industrial city and what it meant for skilled and unskilled workers who are in search of the American Dream.

Free Saturday Labor Arts Classes for Children, Grades 3 through 5

October 5th - December 21st, 2024

The Museum has received funding from the Puffin Foundation to host Saturday Labor Arts classes. The purpose of the program is to introduce students to the history and contemporary issues of working people and immigrants through the visual and performing arts. Registered students will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities by which they are encouraged to develop their understanding of an immigrant worker’s home, lifestyle and workplace as a means of comparison to the same issues today. Due to the program’s growing popularity, pre-registration is required and seating is limited. For further information and to register, please call the Museum at 973-595-7953 or email labormuseum@gmail.com.
