What if we could put an end to painful or deadly disease? To date, we’ve eradicated only one human disease: smallpox but we are closing in on others including polio and Guinea worm disease. This powerful interactive exhibit, organized by the American Museum of Natural History in collaboration with The Carter Center, explores how the global community is working together to eliminate and eradicate diseases, and how you can help in the efforts to reach the last mile.

Women Hold Up Half The Sky
The special exhibition Women Hold Up Half The Sky was inspired by the critically acclaimed book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into
Opportunity for Women Worldwide, by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
Women Hold Up Half The Sky featured stories of women who have changed their lives through education, economic empowerment, courage, and hope. It challenged visitors to open their eyes, minds, hearts, and most of all, to take action to improve women and girls’ lives locally and globally.
