The entire Eyes Wide Open exhibition was on display October, 9, 10 and 11 2006. Even though it was raining, volunteers came as far as 60 miles came to help set up the exhibition.
The Iraqi Memorial is the new addition to the Eyes Wide Open exhibition. The out side of the shows life before the invasion, the inside shows the suffering and fats of the daily life in Iraq.
