{"exhibit":{"title":"Why is the Mall used as a concert space?","description":"<p class=\"p1\">The Mall has served as a concert venue since 1800. Its location and size make it a spot for concerts of any size, especially since it is large enough to accommodate big crowds. With the Smithsonian Museums, the Mall can serve as a place for concerts from a range of cultures, or which reflect an educational purpose as well as a recreational one. The presence of the Capitol and White House not only inspire patriotic concerts marking national holidays, but also concerts which serve as a form of political protest.\u00a0<\/p>","credits":"","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"","theme_options":null,"slug":"concerts","added":"2013-07-24 02:46:07","modified":"2014-09-02 14:44:08","owner_id":5,"use_summary_page":1,"cover_image_file_id":null,"id":41},"item":{"item_type_id":6,"collection_id":null,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2013-07-17 02:50:04","modified":"2015-09-08 16:45:59","owner_id":5,"id":374}}
