Lincoln Assassination Class

[L Verge]

A friend of mine, who knows very little about history and museums, just sent me an interesting video on how an art museum in The Netherlands used one of their famous paintings to publicize the museum by dressing actors as the subjects in the painting and taking them to the local mall to portray the story told by the painting.

I would not advise staging the assassination in one of our malls. Someone would shout "gun," the place would turn into chaos, you might get shot by mall security or beaten by a mob, or thrown in jail for creating a riot.

BTW, Matt: I am absolutely amazed that the mother in line at Ford's didn't give you at least a tongue lashing for butting into her business. People today just are not friendly to things like that - especially when they are wrong in the first place.
