I would think you could do both... start local to figure out the logistics, hone your messaging, and work out the kinks, then travel with your exhibit. As for local venues -- and speaking from experience https://www.pinterest.com/mpjohnst/film-art-from-behind-the-iron-curtain/ -- college galleries can be great, low pressure venues to get your feet wet You might look into universities with significant Jewish studies and/or Holocaust studies programs. I'm sure those experts could help develop contextual materials to highlight your collection in the most appropriate/educational way possible. Also, the more organizations you can get involved in a single event the broader the appeal will be as well. A 2 minute search turned up:Melton Center for Jewish Studies at Ohio Statehttps://meltoncenter.osu.eduJewish Community Center of Greater Columbushttp://columbusjcc.orgJewish Federation of Columbus http://jewishcolumbus.orgIf you could get those three organizations to support it, you could have them displayed at Ohio State. It will likely have well-established on-campus art galleries with large mailing lists (to drum up visitors far and wide), built-in prestige and plenty of insurance/protection for your collection. And lets be honest... at the end of the day, the best contemporary uses for these monstrous artifacts will likely be to educate, and I suspect shock, many of our youngest citizens. Demonizing others for your country's problems sadly seems to be coming into vogue again... The importance of these posters cannot and must not be understated.Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help!
To be clear, if you display at a respectable gallery, they should have their own insurance. It's not something you should have to pay out of pocket for...No offense intended to your collection, but believe me they are used to dealing with MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE exhibits
That is great advice. Mac also bear in mind your exhibit is likely to generate much more reaction, both good and bad, so in a public place you need to be vigilant not just for your property but also from a personal security perspective.
I am glad I saved it's life aswell!!! I stumbled upon this poster on a militaria site where it had been sitting for 3 years in a 5$ frame.. Below is the poster I sent to Mario last night .. It's 4 feet tall and will look awesome framed..
No offense taken!!! I'm sure most galleries exhibit million dollar collections, but regardless if my collection was worth 500 or 500k no one wants there collection damaged..
