The Woodstock Festival symbolizes a peaceful and loving way of living and a celebration of good music. Held in the town of Bethel, in 1969 from August 15 to August 18, the festival represented the “hippie” period.  Lots of important musicians appeared on the stage such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.

A sea of people gathered there, on those 2000 acres of farmland.

Now, people who didn’t get to go to the festival can visit the Woodstock museum to have a better image about it.

According to the New York Daily News, Michael Egan is one of those who wanted to go there but he couldn't.  So, he thought to recreate the story of Woodstock by making a museum. Egan, the senior director for the Museum at Bethel Woods said that the opening would be Monday and it is part of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel.

Egan is very sure that people will visit the place.

The museum has three parts: one part talks about the 60’s from fashion and music to politics and cultural changes, the second part is the largest and is all about the festival and the last part has gathered all the material that remained from Woodstock.

The museum is very modern in its technology and manages to create the impression that you are right in the time of the festival.

 It even shows a 21- minute film with music from the festival, including Jimi Hendrix playing "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Egan’s priority is to tell the story of Woodstock.

“One of the things we hope people will see here is that Woodstock didn't come out of nowhere. It grew out of everything, musical and otherwise, that happened in the '60s," said the senior director, according to the New York Daily News.
