A new exhibit, “Ansel Adams: The Mural Project 1941-1942,” at the Department of the Interior, is the long-overdue fulfillment of a project commissioned by former Interior Secretary Harold Ickes in 1936 and stalled during World War II. More than 200 of Adams’ photographs have been stored at the National Archives, and 26 are now on display on the first and second floors.
