The Museum of the American Revolution opens next year in Philadelphia
(23 Nov 2016) PHILADELPHIA PREVIEWS NEW MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
History buffs will be able to peer into the eyes of a most excellent likeness of George Washington and get an actual whiff of the Revolutionary War when Philadelphia's Museum of the American Revolution opens next year.
Curators have scoured the country for the priceless artifacts to display in the museum, including 1770s-era creamware mug that stills smells of rum.
The collection of art, printed works, immersive exhibits and objects from the Revolutionary Era opens April 19. That's the anniversary of the opening battles in 1775 between British troops and American colonists in Lexington and Concord.
One of the marquee exhibits will be Washington's headquarters tent during the Valley Forge winter of 1777-78.
The director of collections says the museum will share often untold stories of the Revolutionary War.
The museum partnered with Bluecadet to deploy cutting-edge video technology to create interactive displays of museum artifacts.
We're trying to create a digital petting zoo, if you will, said Dan King, creative director of film at Bluecadet.

Tearing down monuments, an old American tradition
Tearing down monuments is an old American tradition – one of the oldest.
The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. Five days later, they held the first public reading in New York City, where George Washington was camped with his soldiers in Bowling Green Park.
You know the park: it's in lower Manhattan, in the financial district. At its northernmost tip is that famous statue of the charging Wall Street Bull. On July 9, 1776 there was a different statue there: a statue of King George III on horseback.
In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson included a litany of 27 grievances against the King.. He ended this list with an intractable statement: “A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
So, the people of New York and the soldiers stationed there tore down that statue of that tyrant, that unfit ruler that no longer reflected the hopes and values of these new American people.
The lead from the two-ton statue was shipped to a foundry in Connecticut and made into precisely 42,088 musket balls. The bullets from the torn down statue were then used by the Continental Army to fight the British. Karma, on a monumental scale.
