On view from April 7 to June 13, this exhibition reflects four decades of artistic exchange through the efforts of the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies, a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation providing permanent works of American art for U.S. embassies around the world.

When Herbert Baxter Adams founded the Department of Historical and Political Sciences in 1876, he launched the "scientific" study of the past as a discipline of university research. This talk addresses Adams's methods and the subsequent work he and his students produced and explores how, as the two fields—history and political science—became separate disciplines, their methods remained entangled well into the 20th century.
