The National Vietnam Veteran's Art Museum is located just south of Grant Park. Its collection began in the late 1970's. The Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving and displaying artwork on the subject of the Vietnam War created exclusively by Vietnam Veterans. They have over 1,000 works of art done by over 130 artists, mostly Americans, but also Australian, Cambodian, Thai, South Vietnamese and even the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.
Collectively, the artists came from every conceivable war experience--infantry, naval, air crew, nurses, doctors, and prisoners of war. The artworks reflect their personal experiences. The collection includes paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures, poetry, prose, music and artifacts.
