A bit of History

University of Kansas' Natural History Museum. Building dates back to 1901, so definitely a bit of history there. :)

It's a beautiful old building in some ways, and they've got quite a collection. Sadly, it has an institutional feel to it at times:



You've got to respect them for the number of exhibits, though; while it often feels like you're looking at 30-year-old exhibits (not the items in them; the exhibits themselves feel like something reaching forward out of a dated era), what's in them is very much worthy of your time.

(Also worthy of respect - the building is the working home of multiple KU departments, as you can spot working labs at various points as you explore the building.)
