Revolutionary Spaces’ new display at Boston’s Old State House puts a spotlight on the unusual, unexpected and often overlooked objects in its collections that don’t fit in the permanent exhibits. It revives, with fresh context, the late 19th- and early 20th-century tradition when the Bostonian Society and the Old South Association filled the Old State House and Old South Meeting House with hundreds of eclectic artifacts. Objects rotate throughout the run.

Open daily through March 2027, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Old State House, 206 Washington Street, Boston. Included with admission: adults $18, seniors $16, youth 6–17 $10, members free.
