Museum Opening

This is our friend Bill.
Bill can do anything.
OK, almost anything!
He's a computer engineer and he donated an entire wing of our museum, so he was the logical choice as the ribbon cutter.




This our main museum.
The top is cool stuff we've found.

The left side is sea shells.

The center is fossils (including the shark teeth in the white cabinet).

The bottom center shelf has our rock collection.

On the upper right we have crystals (including some from the salt potatoes!).

We also have a bird nest with various feathers and egg shells and a blank shelf for further expansion.
And here is Bill with the wing named after him. We are also very grateful his last name is simpler than Udvar-Hazy.

We have rotating exhibits related to space (particularly the Apollo program) on the top shelf.

The second shelf is dedicated to science fiction models.

The third has boats and submarines.

The bottom shelf has aircraft and a working model of a car engine.

Very cool!

Have you read *The Moffat Museum*? The Zoomlians might enjoy it.

I'll give it a try!

Have you read "From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenwheeler"? I read it when I was 10 and have wanted to run away and live in a museum ever since.

I must say, this is more convenient!
