More photos from the Wichita-Sedgwick County Museum

If you saw yesterday's post, you KNOW where I used my FREE Smithsonian Museum Day ticket.  Yes, this truly is my favorite museum I've visited so far.  See you when I return from my afternoon at the museum.

The last two stay-cation posts for this museum, found here and here didn't have many photos. This one, however, has a LOT. There was no good place to take a break once I had moved to the children's rooms. So here is the latest edition of my stay-cation. If you are unfamiliar with my self-imposed rules, please see one or both of my previous entries from this museum. I really don't want to take away from the museum this time.  Thankfully, I had already saved them to Blogger from my old storage site, so the photos are still as crisp as my camera can possibly take. 


This room held religious icons.


I wish I'd gotten a better look at this room, especially what was in the cases. But this was one of those rooms I'll revisit when I go back today. There was just too much to take in.


Out of that brightly lit room and once again into the dark hallway, I was confronted with several cases and displays.


A drawing and a small replica of our famous Indian, along with a photo of and information on the artist who created it, are in this part of the hall.



I realize the lighting in the hall is quite dark,




but it is even worse when I used the flash.

 Here is a commentary on Wichita's dark history and the people who made history by standing up against racism.

 One last photo in the dark hallway before we move to the children's area.

I think I'll let you just enjoy the rest of these photos I took in the children's area.  Some of you who visit may not care for antiques, but this is one super presentation of days gone by.






























Isn't this a fabulous museum?  I should have saved this for a Silent Sunday presentation.  Whether a fan of antiques or not, you have to admire how much time, care, and effort has gone into creating these vignettes.
