HERE'S a TREAT

[OC Richard]

The exhibit was not about immigration to Ellis Island. The exhibit was called "A Celebration of Tartan" and it happened to be on Ellis Island

Thanks for the clarification. The exhibit as it appears in that photo is strange, though.

The fact that the exhibit was at Ellis Island cannot but make a connexion to immigration, however. If you put an exhibit in The Polynesian Cultural Center viewers would connect it to Polynesian culture, if you put an exhibit in The Museum of the Confederacy viewers would connect it with the Confederacy.

Here's the Ellis Island site. The word "immigration" appears in nearly every sentence

Anyhow one thing that bothers me in that photo is the military No2 Dress tunic which is displayed open and unbuttoned. It would never be worn that way, why display it that way?
