The exhibit features large portraits of 8 CFS patients, each with their own brief story to tell about how the illness has affected their life. Portraits of two medical experts and a banner with additional details on CFS and the campaign provide other important information. The striking photographs were taken by world-renowned fashion and celebrity photographer George Lange. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Information brochures will be available to visitors.
