The Heinz/Smithsonian WWII Exhibit

This is a collection of photo's are from the current exhibit at the Heinz Museum in Pittsburgh. Mr. Sewtopia has contributed to the collection so our interests lie beyond the viewing itself. One of the most beautifully curated exhibits I have seen recently, it holds interest for the WWII history buff as well as the casual observer. Among the exhibits are video's and music to enhance the experience. If you are in the area do stop by. It is a treasure.

In the living room display this faux window looks out on the booming steel mills of the time.

On the left is a Nurses' uniform.

again the nurses outfit, note the thick ankles, a long day on your feet results in swelling....just saying!

Must have more than half your teeth? really? I never heard that one before!

the General was from Uniontown, south of Pittsburgh.

this uniform is from a Calvary unit driving mules over the mountains in Burma.
