I've been pretty busy with work, so I've been absent from here for a while. I did stop by the Sternberg Museum and took a few photos the other day. Thought I'd share on here. As a side note, if you have local sciency museums in your are you might want to check into becoming a "member". I have a family membership, that allows my family and I to get in free anytime they are open. This membership also allows us into many other museums across the country. If you like museums like we do it is a great deal. Enough of a rambling here are a few pictures: First is the front of the museum. As you can see the back half is a dome. I think it used to be a skating rink years ago. The museum was recently moved to this location from Fort Hays University. (by recent I mean about 20 years ago when I was in school there. Dang I'm old) When you walk in you are greeted by this large plesiosaur. Probably one of the most famous fossils in the world. The "Fish with in a fish" Large Tylosaur mosasaur wall mount. The next two are probably my favorite display. It's a table with a complete Shark. Look at that wad of teeth!! Next are some Cretaceous displays. A few ice-age displays. They also have some living animals. There is a display area with every species of rattlesnake. They also have a "discovery room", and traveling displays. Right now it's a Permian display. Under the dome is a walk through diorama with dinosaurs, and Cretaceous reptiles.
