the mona lisa generated the first modern blockbuster exhibition in the gallery's -- national gallery's history. only one other exhibition, the famous 1948 exhibition of the famous paintings from berlin, had generated similar acclaim, but nothing could compare to the mona lisa fever that swept through the capital as nearly one million visitors poured through the museum doors. as the exhibition gained unprecedented attention, walker directed guards to route visitors through other galleries so they would be forced to view other important works of art before they left the museum following their encounter with the mona lisa. on their way out, walker declared, "let them see a little rembrandt too." the famous lady completed her washington tour with no apparent damage. no tears were shed however over the departure of the glamorous, feminine guest by the national gallery guards, who, happily anticipating an end to the large -- unusually large crowds, the guards had written on the blackboard in their locker room, "mona, go home!" well, once again, the mona lisa was packed and readied for her re

the crowds queued up outside the national gallery, pictured here. look at this amazing, enormous amount of people who lined up in the cold, freezing january. for many it was the first time they had visited an art museum and many would return for subsequent visits. they waited hour upon hour for their chance to see the mona lisa with their eyes. the exhibition as kennedy had hoped it triggered a renewed appreciation for culture and the fine arts that had been dormant in the postwar years. cold eisenhower years were suddenly replaced with the vibrant, cultural, and artistic interests brought to natural -- national attention by the kennedy family. misses kennedy was very much the prime mover in this new feeling and sensibility. ofple from every facet american life came to the museum , fathers and mothers with their dc,dren, and in washington members of the less privileged and neighborhoods stood in long lines to see for themselves when of the greatest artistic treasures of mankind. greatest artistic treasures of mankind. rips of schoolchildren arrived

so, they walk through that gallery. we have only one artifact in that whole gallery.hat is this little oval table that was in the presidential the hotel in kansas city. fromtruman came back washington while president, he had his office at the meal box hotel and he had this presidential suite. and he used this little table to sign things on and so forth it was on that table that he signed the act that became known as the truman which provided aid to greece and turkey, but also became the foundations for providing assistance to countries that were resisting communism. but that table was then given to the truman library, and we have had it on display a long time. president lyndon johnson came here to officially sign the medicare act here at the truman library. and he gave the first two medicare cards to harry and bess truman. and he signed that on that table as well. secretary of000, state madeleine albright came here and signed what was called the nato accession. nato was established during truman's administration. madeleine albright wanted to recognize truman for that,

clay: we decided to do what we call our lexi gallery. it is a hallway area as you are leaving the exhibition where we go back and look at a series of issues on sort of a timeline thing. in the center of the timeline are the decisions that truman made on these various issues. above and below this timeline are actions that other presidents took either just before truman or after truman. security,e, social which of course roosevelt is prominent in before truman, things like medicare, which truman had proposed but was not in acted until the johnson administration -- and acted -- ted until the johnson administration. presidents before truman initiated some, truman initiated some, which are still being dealt with today and we hope to get people thinking about this whole idea that even if a president served 70 years ago, the decision that -- decisions that president made are affecting us today. we have only one artifact in that entire gallery and that is thisy oval table -- is little oval table that was in the presidential suite at the mew bok

- in the gallery. i thought there would be a joke about three priests and the gallery. no, there were three priests and -- in the gallery. and i cannot pronounce his name. we have on this play there. -- we have it on display there. it turns out that father s had been in prison for a total of 20 or 26 years. for his religious belief in the soviet union. it was ronald reagan that set him free. so we started talking, he did not speak english, but he had a translator and he started speaking and he started crying. he owed his life to ronald reagan and i said, would you mind if we could arrange for you to come back and do an oral history? these stories don't make the paper, but this is the real life of a priest who spent 20-26 years in awful conditions in prison camps. when we did it, it was difficult because he broke up quite a bit during the conversation. but in the end he gave us his prison uniform and his hat and we have that on display. patrick: well, very powerful. a couple of history questions here fo
