The culmination of a four-year project by Zach Coco, Museum of the Big Bend will present “WWII Heroes,” Coco’s photographic collection of men and women who served in the military during World War II. The exhibit will feature 31 portraits of World War II veterans, and premieres on Monday, Jan. 18, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Artifacts from the Museum’s collection donated by people in the Big Bend who served in World War II will supplement the show. Biographies for the portraits can be viewed on cell phones with a quick response, or QR, code on labels next to each portrait. Gallery guides will be available as well. All works will be for sale, with proceeds donated to area VFW and American Legion chapters. The exhibit runs through Thursday, March 25. After the premiere, the Museum will be open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
