World War I Centennial
By In my latest at War is Boring I talk up the National World War I Museum in Kansas City:
The National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, is gearing up for the centennial of the Great War.
I just visited. You should, too. It’s a good experience despite the institution’s flaws.
In preparation for the first months of the centennial, the museum has opened the new exhibitions On the Brink—covering the pre-war July Crisis—and Over By Christmas which highlights the world’s growing realization that the war would last longer than a few months.
The new exhibits are a mixed bag, but the overall museum experience is a rich one.
