K-pop fans are invited to the Library of Congress on Aug. 6 for two free events celebrating the global music phenomenon and the rich Korean cultural collections preserved at the Library. Guests can dance to a curated playlist of K-pop favorites, create a custom light stick, test their knowledge during a team trivia competition and explore special displays featuring treasures from the Library’s Asian Division, Music Division and American Folklife Center. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet Library specialists, learn about preserving their own K-pop memorabilia and connect with fellow fans in the most beautiful building in Washington, D.C.
Visitors are invited to explore the Library's newest exhibition, "The Declaration's Promise," during Live! At the Library’s extended evening hours. The exhibition examines the enduring principles of the Declaration of Independence and its influence on American history. Highlights include Thomas Jefferson's original rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Kermit the Frog, Broadway’s “Hamilton” memorabilia and other iconic treasures from the Library's collections. Through immersive multimedia experiences and rare historical artifacts, visitors will discover how the Declaration's ideals have shaped the nation for 250 years.
