Opening weekend for Art in the Age of Steam was a grand success despite the threat of tornadoes and torrential rain brought about by Hurricane Ike (yes, in Kansas City!). More than 3,000 people attended the member preview days and public opening.
In addition to public approval of the exhibition, the Museum has received support from a list of community partners who are celebrating with their own railroad-related exhibitions and events including the Museum's Spencer Art Reference Library, The National World War I Museum and Kansas City's Union Station.
One event I'll be sure to put on my calendar is at the Toy & Miniature Museum of Kansas City on Jan. 10, 2009 when they will pull out all their steam engine toys.
By the way, the weather is supposed to be much nicer this week.
