National Archives - Charters of Freedom (Rotunda exhibit)

The National Archives Rotunda houses the Charters of Freedom: the original Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, displayed in climate-controlled encasements as the centerpiece of the museum. These documents are part of the Archives' permanent exhibition and are managed for both public display and preservation. The Rotunda and its presentation of the Charters are central to the Archives' mission and visitor experience.
