Description
This exhibition, Collecting Woodstock, features photographs, objects, and ephemera from the 1969 Woodstock festival. Included in the exhibit are thirty new Woodstock festival images from 5 photographers; festival artifacts that have never been previously displayed; and a video compilation of rare Woodstock footage, interviews, home video of the festival, and live music audio from the festival. Wade Lawrence, Museum Director, notes, "It's exciting to see the permanent collection growing and to be able to share these treasures with our visitors. Without the generosity of the wonderful people who have donated these pieces, touchstones of recent history, the museum could not function and many of these witnesses to our past would be lost forever. Collecting Woodstock recognizes their gifts, and I'm certain that the exhibition will bring a smile to each and every face."
