A recent exhibit at Smithsonian's American History Museum (www.si.edu)
was on the ADA - Americans with Disabilities Act.

The exhibit is now over, but I believe info about the exhibit is still
on the web page.

It was very well done exhibit, IMHO.

People from that list serve may wish to contact the Smithsonian's
Accessibility Program, as they may have a listing of exhibits relating
to PWD.

PS - I'd be interesting in seeing any lists of exhibits/events on
Disability issues that you find.

Subject: A Question from My Disability Advocacy Forum

For art museums and/or health museums on list, are any
of you cognizant of exhibitions depicting People With
Disabilities (PWD)?

If yes, where, and are the PWD depicted as grotesque
or respectfully?  Are there any that depict the human
body of a PWD in a favorable way?

A lister has come up with a rather phenomenal idea,
and it seemed appropriate to first test the Museums
list to see what is already there and available.

Thanks.
