Preserving History...
Museum Artifacts Tell a Story
February 28, 2011
Stories of first responders appear throughout the Museum’s exhibits, and add depth through personal insights about the incident and its aftermath. This bandana with numerous pins and buttons worn by first responders in the rescue and recovery is displayed in a case next to a kiosk with personal accounts from first responders, which Museum visitors can read to learn more.
Many artifacts from the rescue and recovery are also on display. This frap and dog booties belong to Arlo, an Oklahoma City Police rescue dog, one of fifty-four rescue dogs that worked at the Murrah Building. Arlo located twenty-two people who were killed in the bombing.
As part of the Memorial Museum’s five year conservation and exhibits plan to ensure the long term preservation of sensitive artifacts and documents on exhibit, a schedule is in place to systematically rotate artifacts that have been on display with other artifacts from the collection.
Visit the Memorial Museum and experience the story of One City, One Nation, One Resolve.
