Drawing by Austin Romanaux
We hope you’ll learn more about Albert Einstein’s advocacy for and friendships with African Americans in Princeton and across the country. This is one aspect of the great man’s life that will be found in the introductory gallery of the Princeton Einstein Museum of Science before guests explore his world-changing scientific discoveries.
The museum is expected to open in 2026. Look for annual pop-up exhibits such as this in the meantime, and don’t forget to donate at the bottom of the page. Information resources used to create the exhibit are found below. Questions? Contact us.
