Around a year after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, a museum in her hometown of New York is honoring the judge with an exhibition. The show “Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg”, which opens on Friday in the New York Historical Society in Central Park in Manhattan, shows photos, videos and documents as well as numerous personal objects – including judges’ robes and Collars and items from the local kitchen, for which husband Martin “Marty” Ginsburg was mainly responsible.
The left-liberal lawyer was a “pioneering judge and a real cultural icon,” said museum director Louise Mirrer. The exhibition was originally planned as a “celebration of the life of Judge Ginsburg” and after her death it was transformed into “memory of her achievements and her legacy”. The show, which was originally organized by the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, is scheduled to run until January 23, 2022 and then travel to Houston and Washington.
Ginsburg, who died in September 2020 at the age of 87 of complications from cancer, was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1933 and is still very much admired by many in her hometown. A successful feature film was made about her life and was shown in German cinemas in 2019.
