Opening the Autry's 'The View From Here' perspective on the Declaration of Independence, this thematic exhibition (May 30, 2026-January 31, 2027) traces competing claims to life, liberty, and happiness in Los Angeles across two centuries. Historical and contemporary objects, media, and art, from Frank Romero's Carro con Corazon to a Hmong story cloth and a Disneyland Autopia car, combine with community collaborations to reexamine the nation's founding principles.
