    Reclaiming the Edge: Urban Waterways and Civic Engagement

    The exhibit examines civic attempts to recover, clean up, re-imagine or engineer urban rivers for community access and use. Based on research on the history, public use and attitudes toward the Anacostia River and its watershed and on review of urban developments in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Louisville, London and Shanghai, the exhibition opens on the museum's 45th anniversary.
