For anyone within striking distance of Raleigh, N.C., I'd recommend the current exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of History observing the centennial of the end of World War One, with a comprehensive display of uniforms, weapons, helmets, artillery shells, trench simulations, trench periscopes, gas masks, photographs, old movie footage, video re-enactments, battlefield relics, and so on. This is done with studious attention to historical correctness but also to engaging and entertaining kids and the public. Undergirding the exhibit is the appalling grimness of the war in which the U.S. alone lost 116K (hope I have the number) among the millions of other nations. This was particularly poignant for my wife and me because her father was a teenage Army cook in the trenches; he was born in 1898. He suffered his whole life from the aftereffects of mustard gas, though he was a happy upbeat guy otherwise, in V.A. hospitals and out. This is a fully researched and authenticated exhibit with weapons and uniforms from all sides. We happened to intercept a docent who gave a lively presentation on life in the trenches and who passed around a gas mask, a trenching tool, uniform items, and other items. I can say this was fun, exactly, but it is well done and historically correct. You won't regret taking the time to visit this if you can.
