AHA Director of Research and Publications and AHA Member Co-curate Smithsonian Exhibit Really BIG Money (April 2022)

Congratulations to Sarah Weicksel, AHA director of research and publications, and AHA member Ellen Feingold on the opening of the Smithsonian’s first numismatic history exhibit for children, which they co-curated with fellow historian Orlando Serrano Jr. and education specialist Abby Pfisterer. The exhibit, Really BIG Money, opened April 8 at the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. It features 185 “big” numismatic objects—in size, quantity, or denomination—that “were selected to surprise, delight, and engage young visitors,” said Feingold.
