Anyone in or near New York should find this of interest.

By stubbornly refusing to open branches in Elkhart, IN these big institutions are sadly contributing to the cultural and intellectual poverty of our region. Personally, I don't think that an exhibit can be said to have been "important" or even "influential" until it's hit the local art museum.

This Suitcase was like a legend, a myth. It's a treasure of history, photography and a tribute to photojournalism at his best.
Highly recommended !

That's the one! A few decades ago it was the RV capital of the world! Before that it was the band instrument capital of the US, at any rate. Before that... it was a farm. But anyway: have you been here?

Did this suitcase reveal whether the dieing soldier was staged or not???
