The William Hammond Mathers Museum is located at 416 N. Indiana Ave. Selected from more than 800 documentary images in the museum's archives, the FSA photographs reflect a significant body of work produced under Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program during the Great Depression. Chronicling both the poverty and recovery of this period, the exhibit features works by the FSA program's leading photographers, including Walker Evans, Russell Lee, Dorothea Lange, Marion Post Wolcott, Ben Shahn, Arthur Rothstein, John Vachon and Jack Delano. The images are an important photographic treasury for both historians and artists. Fifteen of the clay vessels, made by the Cham, Mwona, Longuda and Ga'nda people of northeastern Nigeria, are displayed.
