Seattle News Briefs Seattle’s Museum of History ‘War to End All Wars’ Exhibit Opens Sept. 1 This fall, experience WW1 America on view at the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) September 1, 2018 through February 10, 2019. An in-depth exam- ination of the Great War, this special exhibit tells an important story of Americans—both the legendary and the unsung—who made history in a turbulent era. The exhibit will coincide with the centennial of Ar- mistice Day on November 11, the day the war ended and a day of international observance in 2018 (known in the US as Veterans Day). MOHAI will honor veter- ans and active duty military with free admission on First Thursdays to the WW1 America exhibit from September 2018 through February 2019 as well as Sat- urday, Sunday and Monday during the Veterans Day weekend of 2018. Developed by the Minnesota History Center in partnership with the National Constitution Center, the National World War I Museum and Memorial, the Oakland Museum of California and the Bob Bull- ock Texas State History Museum, WW1 America re- veals the transformational effects of the Great War on American life. The rapid growth of our industrial economy, the rise of the women’s movement, the battle over civil rights, the specter of anti-immigrant paranoia, the devastating public health challenges of the Spanish flu, and the post-war labor struggles that culminated in the Seattle General Strike of 1919 are all examined in this exhibit. The Great War that began in Europe in the summer of 1914 quickly drew in all parts of the world—includ- ing the United States, even though the country did not enter the war until April 1917. The World War I era—1914 to 1919—was transformational. America emerged as a confident global superpower, but the war also led to deep divisions and conflict that threat- ened to tear the nation apart. Generous support for WW1 America is provided by The State of Washington, The Boeing Company, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, The Simpson Family Fund, 4Culture, and MOHAI Exhibits Fund.
