The exhibit, “The Roosevelts’ Art: Personal Stories,” featuring 22 pieces of artworks, including gifts and photographs from the times, offers Roosevelt fans and history buffs a look at their personal collection, said the Poughkeepsie Journal.

Pieces included in the collection include a work Roosevelt commissioned from artist Bernard Finegan Gribble of the surrender of the German fleet at Scapa Flow, Scotland.
