Curated for a diverse audience, the groundbreaking exhibition featured rare, previously unseen artifacts and images from Playboy’s influential history, including profiles of figures like Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and George Lincoln Rockwell. The exhibition also displayed 65 years of iconic magazine covers and highlighted the work of contemporary contributing photographers, including names like Kelia Anne, Ryan Pfluger, Adrienne Raquel, Ali Mitton, Christopher Von Steinbach, and Ana Dias.
