How do you stage an exhibition on POWs at a museum?

This month we are joined by Lora Vogt from the National WW1 Museum in Kansas city, Missouri to discuss their new exhibition: ‘Captured’. Along the way we talk about how POWs have been obscured from modern memory, the benefits of online content, and how to make someone drive 5 days across America.
