Star Spangled Banner

The National Museum of American History reopend after two long years of renewal and renovation. Wow, it was so crowded today - but it was nice to walk through the refurbished exhibits - and having seen several versions of the Star Spangled Banner exhibit (beginning in the mid '70's when it was still hanging in the museum and then a refurbishment exhibit with fiber workers on a scaffold over the flag making repairs and adding a new linen backing) I found it still quite awe inspiring.

I think I will wait awhile - avoid the crowds - before continuing my explorations in this museum. It is wonderful to have it back again!
