Approximately 100 original objects associated with George Washington – including the only surviving complete set of his famous dentures – will be on display at Gilcrease Museum when Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon opens on June 24, 2012. The exhibition, which runs through Sept. 23, 2012 goes beyond the iconic image on the dollar bill to reveal the real George Washington as not only a general and president but as a young land surveyor, experimental farmer, and savvy entrepreneur.

Washington’s views on religion and slavery, and the influence of his wife, Martha, are also explored in this exhibition which features life-size figures of Washing-ton developed through a cutting-edge forensic investigation, engaging videos,

original artifacts, intricate three-dimensional architectural models, and interactive displays. A dedicated web site (DiscoverGeorgeWashington.org) and extensive educational programming are designed to enhance the exhibition and visitor experience.

“Although over a million people come to walk in Washington’s footsteps at Mount Vernon each year, we know that not everyone will have a chance to visit his home,” said Jim Rees, president and CEO of Mount Vernon. “We wanted to bring the fascinating story of Washington’s life to people around the country by showing a wide variety of compelling personal belongings and some intriguing elements from our new Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center.”

The exhibition is presented in 11 sections, ranging from Washington’s youth to his final days. In addition to Washington’s dentures, paintings, books, maps, and objects such as surveying equipment, Revolutionary War armaments, tools used by slaves, and presidential table settings are among the artifacts featured in the exhibi-tion. Mrs. Washington is represented by original jewelry, pieces of her china, silver, and glassware, and reproductions of her gold wedding dress and purple satin slippers.

Three life-size models of George Washing-ton were assembled from a two-year forensic study where computer scientists, art historians, 18th-century garment experts, and a forensic scientist used technology and research from primary sources to measure and analyze portraits, sculpture, and Washington’s dentures and clothing. The project employed proprietary age-progression and regression techniques to create three depictions of Washington as a teenaged surveyor, commander-in-chief atop a white horse, and as the first president taking the oath of office. These lifelike wax figures, with real human hair that was implanted one strand at a time, are embed-ded in realistic settings – one even with animation – that re-create scenes in the woodsy Ohio Valley territory, wintry Valley

Forge, and on the balcony of Federal Hall.The fascinating process of creating the figures is shown in a video by The History Channel, which also produced five other videos in the exhibition on religion, espionage, slavery, Washington’s dentures, and his state-of-the-art gristmill.

A full-size, functional replica of Washington’s pew at Pohick Church and detailed models of Fort Necessity and Washington’s Mansion and estate, gristmill, and innovative 16-sided treading barn bring large structures to the exhibition in a scalable manner, while interactive touch screens encourage interactivity.

On opening day, June 24, a lecture will be presented at 2 p.m. by Dean Norton, award-winning director of horticulture at Mount Vernon Estate, Museum, and Gardens. Titled, “The Research and Restoration of George Washington's Gardens and Grounds,” Norton will present an informative, entertaining look at the gardening world of George Washington. His talk will also cover the gardens' use and importance. Hear the story of the first president's efforts to create an exceptional country seat.
