Justice is here! This portrait of the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg came into the Museum’s collection this year as a gift from the sitter herself. In the painting, Ginsburg appears with a calm yet determined gaze—perhaps a reflection of her stalwart position supporting gender equality, reproductive justice, and LGBTQ+ rights. Displayed in the institution that Ginsburg used to frequent as a child, this work celebrates her prominence as a Brooklyn native, iconic American figure, and integral voice on the nation’s highest court.⁠ 

See it now on view in our fifth floor American art galleries.

On this day in history May 6th, in 1910, Edward VII died at Buckingham Palace at the age of 68. The eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, he had only ruled for a little over nine years.

A lifelong smoker, he often suffered severe bronchitis towards the end of his life. The day of his death he suffered several heart attacks, but refused to be helped into bed saying “No, I shall not give in; I shall go on; I shall work to the end.” At one point son, Prince George, told him that his horse had won a race at Kempton Park during the afternoon, and the king said “Yes, I have heard of it. I am very glad”, which would ultimately be his last words.
