Taking America To Lunch

No one loves collecting both the monumental and (seemingly) trivial aspects of American material culture more than the National Museum of American History, which has created this fine online exhibit to pay tribute to that unsung hero of midday, the lunch box. This website is designed to complement an in situ exhibit that is currently on view in the Museum's lower level. On this site, visitors are greeted by photographs of such notables as Shirley Jones, Meadowlark Lemon, and June Lockhart all placing lunch containers into the exhibit during a recent event at the Museum. The site contains four areas documenting the evolution of the common lunch container, ranging from the early days of the common worker's lunch bucket all the way to the more tranquil "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" lunch box of 1974.
