The AIDS Memorial Quilt has been displayed in its entirety only five times -- in 1987, 1988, 1989, 1992 and 1996. Each display was on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The quilt was founded in 1987 and is a memorial to those who have died from AIDS and is used as a tool in the prevention of HIV.  Each section is twelve feet square and is typically made up of eight individual 3' x 6' panels sewn together.  Each panel memorializes the life of someone lost to AIDS.  There are currently more than 44,000 panels.  To learn more, click here.
