IRL #11

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/video/2008/oct/09/cold-war-modern-design

This is a video actually about the opening of an exhibit in the Victoria and Albert museum, but the exhibit contains furniture and objects from the Cold War era, and the video talks about some of the political connections, main images associated with the Cold War... It connects to what we're studying because obviously we just started studying the Cold War, and it enhances what we've learned by providing some visual images and a different twist on what the cold war produced (not only war but fashion and STUFF). The source of the video is "Andrew Dickson, Shehani Fernando and agencies" on and I don't know much about them, but the information shown is not too affected by the source... The limitations of this source include its brevity and its focus being on the material in the museum, so there is not much in-depth information available to a historian studying the Cold War.
