About this event
Through 180 works of art, drawn almost entirely from the MFA’s collection and ranging in time from democracy’s origins in ancient Greece to today, visitors can compare past to present and reflect on how certain democratic struggles and concepts have echoed through the ages.
The exhibition features celebrated works, such as the Sons of Liberty Bowl (1768) by Paul Revere Jr., the ancient Roman Denarius of Brutus—or Ides of March—coin (43–42 BCE), and Shepard Fairey’s poster Vote! (2008), along with lesser-known but influential works of art on view for the first time.
With ceramics, coins, ancient marble reliefs with carved inscriptions, paintings, sculpture, prints, photographs, posters, fashion, and more, “Power of the People” invites visitors to reflect on, discuss, create, and participate in the democracy we share.
