The Museum of Exploration’s Grand Opening coincides with another historic milestone: the 250th anniversary of the United States. To celebrate America 250, our photography exhibition, “Red, White & Blue,” is our latest feature in the Spotlight Gallery.

This collection of images from National Geographic Explorers and photographers explores the United States’ history, culture and complexities through the colorful lens of the American flag. From bright red strawberries and serene blue lakes to vivid white snowfalls, explore the United States through a new lens and discover the symbols, scenes and stories that define the nation.
