Anne Morgan's War: Rebuilding devastated France 1917-1924
This exhibition, organized by the Franco-American Museum, Château de Blérancourt, France, under the direction of curator Anne Dopffer, consists of over forty vintage photographs and rare silent film footage, and the papers of Anne Morgan at the Morgan Library & Museum that bring to life the extraordinary work undertaken between 1917 and 1924 by 350 American women – all volunteers – who left comfortable lives in the United State to help the war-ravaged civilian population of northeastern France. The dynamic leader of this effort was Anne Morgan, daughter of financier J. Pierpont Morgan, who collected private funds and founded the American Committee for Devastated France.
