The Museum of Arts & Sciences Presents:
Memories of World War II
Photographs from the Archives of the Associated Press
The Museum of Arts & Sciences is proud to
present Memories of World War II, Photographs from the archives of
The Associated Press, scheduled to open April 4, 2008 and run
through August 17, 2008.
As the main source of war news for most of the nation's
newspapers, The AP offered Americans a daily view of the conflict
through photographs by its own photographers and by photographers
in the U.S. Armed Services, as well as images from the world press
that otherwise would not have been seen. The best of these images
make up this exhibition. The over 130 black and white photographs
chosen for the exhibition were culled from tens of thousands of
pictures in The AP Archives, including material that had not been
seen since the war. The photographs chosen bring to life the
immense scope as well as the individual tragedy and challenge of
World War II.
