“Pool: A Social History of Segregation” (POOL) is a new museum exhibition now open in the National Historic Landmark Fairmount Water Works located at 640 Water Works Drive, Phila., PA.
Visitors to the 4,700 square foot art and history exhibition will be immersed in a curated collection of installations and experiences, including rarely seen archival film footage and photographs. Since the 1920s, the waters of our public pools have reflected the profound racial and economic divisions running through American communities, becoming spaces where cultural values and biases have been tested—sometimes violently.
The Exhibition will be open through September, 2022 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free. More information at FairmountWaterWorks.org . Follow on social media @FairmountWW
Please note: Admission to the exhibition is free at all times, and is able to be viewed independently, however, small group tours are available Wednesdays – Saturdays upon request.
