Kính chuyển đến quý hữu một điêu khắc thật độc đáo, có thể mang cho người thưởng ngoạn rúng động đến rướm máu - 58 ngàn thẻ bài của Quân nhân Hoa Kỳ đã hy sinh tại chiến trường Việt Nam.
When visitors first enter the museum, they will hear a sound like
wind chimes coming from above them and their attention will be drawn upward 24
feet to the ceiling of the two-story high atrium.
Dog tags of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam
War hang from the ceiling of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in
Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture,
entitled Above & Beyond, was designed by Ned Broderick and Richard Stein.
The tens of thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in
the air, 1 inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime with
shifting air currents. Museum employees using a kiosk and laser pointer help
visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted name of their lost friend
or relative.
