The show continues through Jan. J1 The Peace Museum was founded two years ago to serve as a resource center on questions of war and peace. Its growth has been phenomenal, and the show marks the museum truly establishing itself as a respected institution, with national recognition. "Give Peace a Chance" is a John Lennon song, and Lennon's fans won't be dis appointed with this show. The whole effort began when the Peace Museum first contacted Yoko Ono, and she pledged her full cooperation for the show. Lennon fans will find his guitar, gold records, artwork and even copies of his FBI files in the show. But John Lennon's isn't the only story told here. Beginning with the roots of protest music, the show reaches back before World War II and looks at early folk singer Woody Guthrie and blues artist Big Bill Broonzy, both active in the 19JOs. A huge gallery is devoted to those forceful young people who sparked rebellion in the 1960s. From Peter, Paul, and Mary through more recent stars like the late Harry Chapin, everyone is represented, including Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Phil Ochs, Holly Near, Country, and perennial folkie Pete Seeger, who bridged 1960s folk musicians with their earlier versions. A transitional gallery honors great rock concerts, £rom Woodstock to the Concert for Bangladesh. A special feature of this gallery is occasional slide shows, set to music, which reflect the spectrum of the entire show. The hard realism and cutting satire of today's music, whether reggae, with This rare handbill from a series of concerts given in 1965 by Bob Dylan the late Bob Marley, or punk, gets and Joan Baez is one of hundreds of items on display at Give Peace A full treatment.
