The special exhibit ‘Courage and Compassion’ will soon be leaving the Albuquerque Museum. This focuses on the impact of World War II on Japanese American families.
During World War II, Japanese American families were rounded up and sent to incarceration camps, located across the West and Southwest. Many people were held without due process, and for no more crime than being of Japanese descent.
This exhibit focuses on inhabitants of New Mexico, but it also tells the overall story. Some of the people involved in the exhibit were either interned themselves as children, or their parents or relatives were incarcerated.
Many of the items on display were personal ones, and range from hand-carved toolboxes to Japanese-language newspapers to letters. This exhibit brings to life a turbulent time in American history and humanizes the victims.
This exhibit is included with general admission. Tickets to the Albuquerque Museum can be purchased online or in person, and are $5 for New Mexico resident adults or $3 for resident children. Non-resident tickets are $6 and $3. There is free parking available for museum guests in the lot directly behind the museum.
This type of event often uses banner printing to have a banner on the side of the museum building. Sometimes, Banners will also be displayed elsewhere to catch the eye.
This exhibit will be closing this Sunday, November 3.
