Keep exploring Ellis Island with our travel partners.
The exhibit's idea is simple and personal: photographs submitted by individuals and families form a larger flag image. Viewed alongside the museum's passenger records and arrival galleries, it shifts attention from immigration totals to the faces and family stories behind them. Its interactive display has allowed visitors to enlarge images and search by name.
Useful to know
Check the museum's current exhibit information before planning around this digital display.
