Dumbo To Be Landmark Object When National Museum of American History Reopens

Friday, June 27th, 2008

13368.jpg

I was very excited to read the July newsletter from the National Museum of American History because it mentions that the Dumbo ride vehicle will remain on public display. Actually, it will hold a place of honor as being one of the six landmark objects in the new layout of the museum. The landmark positions mark the East and West wings on the three floors of exhibit space. Dumbo will be the landmark object for the West Wing on the Third Floor.

The Dumbo ride vehicle was donated to the museum back in June 2005 in honor of Disneyland’s 50th anniversary. It is fitting symbol for Disneyland, as it is one of the original 1955 rides. Disney and Disneyland are important parts of American history as representative of the “blend of imagination, technology, and business acumen.”

The other Landmark objects that have been profiled in past newsletters are the Greensboro Lunch Counter for the East Wing of the Second Floor and Clara Barton’s Red Cross Ambulance, 1898 for the East Wing of the Third Floor. The other Landmark objects that will be profiled in upcoming issues are the John Bull locomotive for the East Wing of the First Floor, Horatio Greenough’s George Washington Statue for the West Wing of the First Floor (at least I think that is right), and a telescope used by America’s first woman astronomer for the West Wing of the Second Floor (again, my guess and may be switched around with Washington if I am guessing their locations wrong).

I cannot wait until the museum reopens, but currently the date of reopening appears to still be a vague Fall 2008. Hopefully, that means September.
