Hi Elliott,
The exhibition was not canceled, but it was drastically revised. The
sources that others have mentioned are very good for gaining an understanding of
happened and why. There's also my essay, "Fred Wilson, PTSD and Me:
Reflections on the History Wars," which appeared in Curator in Fall 2009 (52:4). I
can attach it here but I will send it to you via email.
Ken

Judgment at the Smithsonian, edited by Philip Noble, is an excellent

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Enola Gay Smithsonian exhibition controversy
Hello everyone!
Please would you be able to tell me why there was so much controversy over
the Smithsonian’s proposed Enola Gay exhibition in the 1990s? I am
interested in why the exhibition was cancelled.
My email is

I look forward to hearing from you
Thank you,
