Reliving Woodstock

Some say that if you can remember the ’60s, you weren’t there. But the new Museum at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, N.Y., is betting it will jog your memory of the Age of Aquarius.  

The museum, which opens June 2, recalls the decade and the event that came to embody the era: the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair. Located on the festival site, the museum is full of artifacts—from a green beret to a psychedelic bus—as well as photographs, films, music and interactive exhibits. Everything aims to put visitors in the middle of what museum developer Michael Egan calls “a decade of great change. … If you’re a boomer, this is your life.”
