D.C. "Newseum": Marion County Connection

Work is in progress for a new museum in our nation's capitol, and here's a Marion County connection. My cousin, Ken Ackerman (brother of Dr. Mark Ackerman), owns a company in Louisville called Derby City Sign & Electric. They are installing a 23 foot tall 600,000+ pixel HD LED screen there. Here's a note from him along with pictures (which he says don't do the project justice).

Hello Gang,
    Here are a few photos of the project we are working on in Washington
DC. This video board resides in a brand new museum celebrating the first
amendment and highlighting the freedom of press.

This place is very unique for a museum since they are trying to lose some of the old
tradition of quiet and yawning and putting in some glitz. This is a big
function of our 23' tall HD LED screen which can sit on the floor or be
raised up to five stories for viewing from the outside public.

This place called the Newseum houses one of only two watch towers left from
the Berlin wall, the first piece of one of the Twin Towers ever on
display as well as interactive computers where you pretend to be a
newspaper reporter and are tested with actual events that have taken
place and your job is to catch the best photos. It all looked fun but I
was not allowed to play.

The Newseum is located just down from the
capitol building on Pennsylvania Avenue. If you are ever in the area at
least peek in the window at this 600,000 + pixel TV.

ps. Photos do no justice.

Ken
