Description
Bob Hope elicited laughs across all media: through radio waves, on stage, and on the screen, in both television and film. But none of them mattered more than the humor he injected into American camps across the globe during World War II, as the Allies struggled to save the world for democracy.
This traveling exhibit shares the story of the iconic entertainer’s unique place in World War II history and beyond. Using multimedia elements and captivating storytelling, including artifacts, films, rare photographs and an interactive display, the exhibit highlights how Hope helped to lift the human spirit during one of the darkest times in American history.
