What's on
Special Exhibition
More than 250 years ago, the French, the British, and First Peoples collided in
an historic struggle for North America. Known as the Seven Years' War, it would
soon become the world's first global conflict. Erupting in the Pennsylvanian
backwoods, war quickly spread to Quebec City, Europe, the West Indies, Africa,
and Asia. It changed the world map, set the stage for the American Revolution,
and shaped the evolution of Canada and the United States. Clash of Empires is
the first major Canadian-American joint exhibition to tell this compelling
story.
An exhibition organized by the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional
History Center, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, in partnership with
the Canadian War Museum. Supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage
through the Canada Travelling Exhibitions Indemnification Program.
