Fifty-Eight Years Ago

Today marks fifty-eight years since JFK was assassinated in Dallas—shot by (I assume) the lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald.

I happened to be in town in 2008 and so made a pilgrimage to Dealey Plaza. I thought it was amazing how the place seemed unchanged. (I had never been there prior to that, mind you, but it seemed like no new construction or alterations had been made since the famous footage of Abraham Zapurder was taken.)

I had a small, awful, early digital camera and made these exposures—a couple stitched together to form larger files. I feel the “X” painted on the roadway to be in bad taste somewhat. I was but two when it happened, and used to think I remembered it, but now I figure I was most likely recalling poring over a special edition of LIFE magazine a few years later.

I feel very emotional. I went there, convincing myself to not be too nervous or too excited, because things never go as planned and I couldn’t take being disappointed (especially since this wasn’t planned for tonight).

I wasn’t disappointed. I’m not disappointed.

The only negative critique I can give them is the placement of Gustav III’s things, especially the Revolution Uniform. Like, what were they thinking?

The main objective with this rebuild of the main exhibition was to modernize it. It hadn’t been redone since the 1970′s when it moved to the current location and, when it was pointed out, it really showed. The main exhibition told the history of kings and of wars. I have been going there regularly for over a decade and I had never reflected over it, not even over the fact that the only place where the women were mentioned was in the room called “Leisure time and pleasure.” This included our two reign queens. It was the history I had been taught, it’s the history still being taught. I didn’t know I was missing anything.

Or I knew. I’ve been reading about women’s history and the history of women for years now. But Holly shit! The history we miss when we just look at half of it.

Here are three of my new favourite items on display, from left to right:

Masquerade dress, probably worn by Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark, Queen of Sweden, in the late 17th century

Wedding dress of Sofia Magdalena of Denmark, Queen of Sweden, 1766

Prussian Colonel uniform of Victoria of Baden, Queen of Sweden, 1908

Then there were the little things:

Glass made for the funeral of Louise of the Netherlands, Queen of Sweden and Norway, and given as gifts to her servants

Princess Anna Vasa of Sweden’s bracelet

The last, unfinished embroidery of King Gustav V of Sweden

And of course the old favourites:

The uniform Charles XII wore in Fredrikshald in 1718

The masquerade suit (and mask) Gustav III wore to the Opera in 1795

And the goddamn horse Gustav II Adolf rode in Lützen in 1632

I stayed there for almost two hours, just walking around. I hadn’t realised quite how much I had missed this place. There were annoying teenagers giggling and laughing, there were a guide who talked too loud to the people who asked questions, there were men mansplaining our history to the women they were with... (I only jumped in once to correct them, I feel very proud of myself) but there weren’t that many people, it was spacious and calm and I could take photos of just about everything without getting people in the shot.

God, I’m so happy I went there tonight. And yes, that is for real a 17th century horse.

My favourite museum reopened today. I really, really wanted to go, but have since long accepted that I’m a working adult who can’t go to museum openings at 15:00 on a Monday. (Also, Monday? Since when do they have open on Mondays?) Now I’ve seen on their instagram that they have open until 21:00 tonight and well… I don’t think anything can stop me.
