Description
2014 marks 110 years since Birmingham’s colossal icon was cast from local iron to become the world’s largest cast-iron statue. To celebrate his amazing journey and history, Vulcan Park and Museum will present Vulcan Keepsakes: Iron Man Memorabilia from the Birmingham Community. The exhibition, running December 1, 2013 through August 17, 2014, will feature Vulcan souvenirs loaned to us by the local community as well as oral histories from citizens with unique stories to share. Vulcan’s 110-year history resides within quirky, curious keepsakes and the local people who witnessed significant moments from his past.
If you hold an interesting item you would like us to consider for the exhibition, please contact Lindsay Elliott at lelliott@visitvulcan.com, 205.933.1409 x. 29. You can also bring your items and stories to Share Your History Day at Vulcan Center Museum on the first Wednesday of each month from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and we will review Vulcan keepsakes for possible display.
