Abstract

The article discusses three distinct topics: an exhibition on the samurai at the British Museum, a permanent exhibition on the Bundeswehr during Angela Merkel's chancellorship at the Militärhistorisches Museum in Dresden, and the inaugural Hampshire Air Festival. The samurai exhibition highlights their evolution over 1,000 years, showcasing 280 objects and exploring their cultural legacy, including interactions with the Western world. The Bundeswehr exhibition examines the military's transformation under Merkel, including the end of conscription and the challenges of distancing from historical militarism. Lastly, the Hampshire Air Festival will feature displays of historical and modern aircraft, aiming to engage families and aviation enthusiasts. [Extracted from the article]
