(Alexcia Negrete / Daily Titan) The Fullerton Museum opened an exhibit on Saturday featuring photographs and artwork inspired by the history of Japanese internment camps in California during the Second World War. The museum, located at 301 N. Pomona Ave., is displaying 50 photographs taken by landscape photographer Ansel Adams. The images taken by Adams show the living conditions of an internment camp in Manzanar, California, where more than 110,000 Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans were forced to live in overcrowded conditions behind barbed wire and guarded towers during World War II.
