In 2024, the United Nations (UN) Archives moved out of its warehouse facility in Queens. The tour will highlight many of the interesting artifacts and records discovered during the move, highlighting the history of multilateralism and the UN. What are 120-year-old Conventions doing at the UN? Why is there a poisonous notebook next to forty large keys? Who does space belong to? All this and more will be featured in the tour.
This is an in-person event limited to 10 A.R.T. members only. Registration is non-transferable. Please note that you MUST reserve a ticket in advance online in order to attend this event. In the occasion that the event is sold out, we highly recommend joining the waitlist. An ART staff member will reach out to you if a spot becomes available. Unless you've been given permission, please do not show up at the event without registering.
