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.
