Today I had the privilege of visiting the World War I Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. It was a very enlightening experience and I thought I would share a few photos. I’ll be in the area for another week and I hope to see more of this wonderful and intriguing city.

This photo was taken from on top of the Memorial Tower. I wasn’t up there long. It was a nice 28 degrees with the wind blowing in at about 30 MPH. It was cooooooold! In the background is downtown Kansas City.

One of the neat exhibits was the one describing how America got into the war. There was a video that described the brutal conditions and the catastrophic civilian deaths that resulted from the first World War.

This glass bridge marked the entrance into one of the areas of the museum. Each of the 9,000 flowers (poppies) below symbolizes 1,000 combatant deaths.

And thank you for looking at my photos. Please visit the official museum site for more information.

Unfortunately a new section (added just a year ago) isn’t yet reflected prominently on the website. However, you can check out a photo slide show of the newer section that I found somewhat buried. I also have more photos at my Flickr account.
