A Collection Of 'Window Views' Takes On New Meaning During The Coronavirus Crisis

Windows are points of transition between two physical worlds. These days, they've taken on new significance for visual artists, who are using them as a way of expressing the emotions that come with life in lockdown.

Inspired by this renewed focus, "Window Views," a new online collection of photographs from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, explores the architectural feature and its symbolic and cultural meanings.
