National Churchill Museum Online Exhibits

Westminster College Museum Studies students created a special virtual exhibit in 2021 as part of the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of Winston Churchill’s "Iron Curtain" speech.

When Sir Winston Churchill delivered his historic address at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, on March 5, 1946, he coined the phrase “special relationship” referring to the alliance between Great Britain and the United States.

 

As part of its 50th anniversary celebration in 2019, ANCM invited K-12 public and private school students from Mid Missouri to paint or draw the concept special relationship. The artworks were displayed in 2019 in ANCM's Anson Cutts Gallery. Today, the exhibition continues virtually. The completed artworks – over 4,000 total – have been photographed, numbered, and documented digitally for global distribution at ancmsrp.org.
