A Heartbeat Away: The American Vice-Presidency
This original temporary exhibit honors the 50th anniversary of Gerald R. Ford’s Vice-Presidency.

Using historic artifacts including head of state gifts, campaign memorabilia, and personal materials, the exhibit highlights the stories and experiences of specific Vice Presidents, focusing on those who—like Ford—unexpectedly rose to the Presidency.
