Last month, Austin Wright and his sister Mackenzie Wright of Paradise Valley and New York City, co-founders of The Museum of Democracy (MOD), were honored to participate in their first exhibit of 2016 at The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas.  

The Path to the Presidency exhibition, was opened by former President George W. Bush and Lorne Michaels, Television Producer known for creating the hit show Saturday Night Live. The opening included a presentation of "Live from Dallas, it's Saturday Night". The exhibit features numerous items from the The Wright Family Collection, The Museum of Democracy. "The exhibit is extremely timely, in this unprecedented election year, as it explores the history of campaigns and elections in the U.S." It features landmark elections of the past along with exhibits showing how new technology and cultural advances are changing the way leaders are elected. 

The Wright Family Collection, MOD, consists of the largest most comprehensive collection in the world of American Political and Historical memorabilia (more than1.2 million objects). MOD is delighted to announce two additional 2016 exhibitions in formation, both expected to open in September 2016: A New York Historical Society exhibition--American Presidential Campaigns and Political Thought of the 60's and 70's; and another with the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas--A Retrospective Look at The Road to The Presidency.
