Weapons of Mass Dissemination: The Propaganda of War
From: November 17, 2005 To: April 30, 2006 |
A fascinating look at the various strategies and techniques used to create wartime propaganda during the first half of the twentieth century. From purely informational posters detailing proper blackout procedures, to disturbing and inflammatory images of victims of an aerial bombardment, this exhibition examines the many faces of propaganda in times of conflict. In addition to conventional tools such as posters and information sheets, the exhibition also includes less conventional items such as housewares, children's books and other artifacts.
The Canadian War Museum has developed a distinctly Canadian component to share the exhibition space, featuring numerous items of ephemera and artifacts from the Canadian War Museum collections.
This exhibition was developed by Wolfsonian-Florida International University, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.
