[BITList] Whispering Chimes...... !

[FA]

    *The National Veteran’s Art Museum in Chicago has an unusual work of
    art which you may not have even known existed!*

    *
    When visitors first enter the museum, they will hear a sound like
    wind chimes coming from above them and their attention will be drawn
    upward 24 feet to the ceiling of the two-story high atrium*.

    *The**dog tags of the more than 58,000 service men and women who
    died in the Vietnam War, were hung from the ceiling of the National
    Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11,
    2010. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above & Beyond, was
    designed by Ned Broderick and Richard Stein.

    *The thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in the air, 1
    inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime with
    shifting air currents. Museum employees using a kiosk and laser
    pointer help visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted
    name of a lost friend or relative.
