Officially the only US museum devoted solely to World War I, Liberty Memorial displays objects collected beginning on Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) at war's end. The permanent exhibits, then, seek to explain and interpret the varied holdings. The memorial itself is composed of a 217-foot tower, the museum building, two sphinxes representing Memory and Future, the Great Frieze (depicting man's journey from war to peace), and connecting courtyards and stairways. Great for history buffs and visitors wanting to learn more about the Great War. |
