IN SEARCH OF THE SIGNERS
AUGUST 1, 2026 – JANUARY 10, 2027
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence. Collectors of early United States history long pursued a complete set of signatures of the 56 men who boldly signed the document. Omaha’s first real estate agent, Byron Reed, assembled one of the nation’s most important collections of coinage and manuscripts. Reed also sought a signature from each signer, and today, the Byron Reed Collection includes documents related to 49 of the 56 signers.
The Durham Museum is proud to preserve and feature it in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. In Search of the Signers includes original letters, receipts and other documents from the Byron Reed Collection tied to the Declaration’s signers, as well as a reproduction of John Trumbull’s iconic painting, “Declaration of Independence.”

WHITE CHRISTMAS – THE EXHIBITION
OPENING NOVEMBER 27, 2026
One of the most popular exhibitions to visit The Durham Museum is returning with even more objects from the beloved holiday musical.
The Durham, in partnership with The Rosemary Clooney House and private collectors Stephen and Heather French Henry, will host White Christmas – The Exhibition during the museum’s Christmas at Union Station season in 2026. The highest-grossing film of 1954, and one of the highest-grossing musicals of all time, White Christmas has become a holiday film classic.
The music of Irving Berlin comes to life as Edith Head’s costumes adorn a star-studded cast of Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen as they dance their way across the silver screen. See film costumes, props, sheet music, behind-the-scene photos and archival materials. White Christmas – The Exhibition features some of the most iconic costumes such as the blue “Sisters” dresses and Vera-Ellen’s sparkling “Mandy” dance outfit.
Whether you are a fan of music, costumes and the pageantry, White Christmas – The Exhibition will be the highlight of the holidays!
