The “Watching Oprah” exhibit has opened at the National Museum of African American History & Culture in D.C.
“The Oprah Winfrey Show was a gift to me, and I believe a gift to the culture.”
The exhibit, which continues through June 2019, uses the story of Winfrey and her 25-year daytime talk show as a lens to explore contemporary American history and culture, especially issues of power, gender and the media. It will feature video clips on a range of subjects, interactive interviews with Winfrey, costumes from her films Beloved and The Color Purple and artifacts from Harpo Studios in Chicago, home of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Check out some of the iconic exhibits that are on display:
