BBM shirts in museum display in LA!

<< < (3/8) > >>

Monika:
I was also looking for the blood, but like Chrissie points out, the stain seems to have faded.

I´m very pleased with the way they displayed it in the centre and with the wooden board as a backdrop.


Thanks Pete for posting, it almost feels like I was there myself. I hope the shirts will find their way to a more permanent exhibition.




When it came - thirty cents - he pinned it up in his trailer, a brass-headed tack in each corner. Below it he drove a nail and on the nail he hung the wire hanger and the two old shirts suspended from it. He stepped back and looked at the ensamble through a few stinging tears.
"Jack, I swear - " he said, though Jack had never asked him to swear anything and was himself not the swearing kind.

Thanks Pete for posting these pictures. Seeing those shirt (very well displayed like Buffy said) must have been a goosebumps moment.

This is Autry's permanent exhibit on The West.  I don't know if the shirts are on permanent loan, but I will ask the museum staff person I have been in touch with.

As for the blood stains, one of my friends in LA saw these shirts when they were displayed somewhere else and he said that they looked like they were warshed - no more blood.
