Moulin Rouge invites D.C. audiences to turn-of-the-century Paris for a postmodern pastiche that remixes 19th century opera plotlines, top 40 pop hits from the past 20 years, and the socialist, bohemian ideals of “truth, beauty, freedom, love.” bit.ly/3QAV2L3

It’s the 50th anniversary of hip-hop so we paired BOOKS with some iconic LOOKS from music videos. In music videos, hip-hop found a new medium to blend the fashion and storytelling intrinsic to the genre. #HipHop50NYPL 👀📚 on.nypl.org/44WyzNc
