So much of what's on display at the Vienna City Museum doesn't read like it's history.

I’m not sure why, but Edward Kienholz’s Portable War Memorial (1968), on display at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany, feels oddly fitting in light of the announcement that the DoD is now the Department of War.
