Media Coverage of WWHAM
Alliance has been graced with a fascinating new World War History & Art Museum ... Brushes With War [is] filled with about 300 original paintings and drawings created by WWI soldiers ... Some of the creations are exquisite ... The information is as awe inspiring as the art pieces themselves.
The Review, Alliance, Ohio
May 26, 2011
We were pleasantly surprised to learn about the World War History and Art Museum and had a very interesting tour conducted by Joel Parkinson, director and curator of this wonderful collection. If you like art and history, we suggest you stop in to visit the World War History and Art Museum.
