See what’s on display now at our Level 8 Gallery at the Central Library. We use our gallery space to host touring exhibits or partner with communities to share work from local artists and explore local history and current events.
This exhibit highlights the diversity and depth of our collections, composed of over two million items, focusing on books, ephemera, art, and other items related to Seattle’s rich history.
As you move through the gallery, we invite you to explore the many voices, events, and ideas that have made Seattle and the Pacific Northwest what it is today. Many of the events featured have significant anniversaries this year.
This exhibit will run from January 23, 2026 to April 11, 2026, at our Level 8 Gallery at the Central Library.
