SUMMARY:Opening Day - Mandela: The Official Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Mandela: The Official Exhibition takes guests on a personal journey through the life of the world’s most iconic freedom fighter and political leader\, Nelson Mandela.\n\nAn immersive and interactive experience\, the exhibition features previously unseen film\, photos and the display of over 150 historical artifacts and personal effects on loan from the Mandela family\, museums and archives worldwide. Through a series of immersive zones — each one a dramatically different experience — you will be taken on a journey through his remarkable life. His epic story is told in a series of experiential galleries\, from his rural childhood home through years of turbulent struggle against the apartheid regime to his eventual vindication and final years as South Africa’s first democratically elected president.\n\nA century on from his birth\, what does Nelson Mandela mean today in a world where inequality and injustice are still rife? Mandela: The Official Exhibition asks these difficult questions and examines his legacy. Mandela’s values and commitment to making the world a better place are just as vital now as they were during his lifetime. This is a story we can all learn from and be inspired by.\n\nBuy tickets here: Grand Rapids Public Museum — Grand Rapids Public Museum (grpm.org)
