In books and interviews, Noam Chomsky recalls that during the Vietnam War a diorama of a Vietnamese village was built at the Chicago Museum of Science where "children  were  supposed  to  come  and  play,  and  shoot  at  the  village  with  the  guns".

> There was in item in the _New York Times_ that described an event that
> took place in Chicago. The Chicago Museum of Science, which is a very
> respectable place, had put up an exhibit. The exhibit was a Vietnamese
> village, sort of a diorama of a Vietnamese village, and around it
> there were guns, and children were supposed to come an play, and shoot
> at the village with the guns. That was the game.

It also reports that the New York Times published an article criticising a group of mother protesting outside the museum. However, I can not find any other sources that confirms the facts.
Is Noam Chomsky's version of the events accurate?
