Neoclassicism and America 1750-1900 was made possible by a 2007 grant for Teaching and Learning Resources funded by the Education Division of the National Endowment for the Humanities to the Center for Education Studies. This instructional website of seven lessons, revised in 2020, is a We the People Project, designed to advance history and civic excellence in the nation’s schools. It builds on a NEH-funded Faculty Humanities Workshop for high school teachers on “Neoclassicism in America” held at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, in June 2006.

The Center for Education Studies has been grateful to the Musée du Louvre and museum staffs nationwide in the past for permissions, including those that are currently open-source collection and links.
