History museum has old-fashioned store
An historic general store motif, complete with rows of jars appearing to contain multicolored sweets which are actually rocks, highlights a new shop which opens Monday on the main floor of the KU Natural History Museum.
The shop, a subsidiary of the Kansas Union Book Store, offers materials intended to stimulate the interest of children and adults in the natural sciences and history, a museum official said.
To visitors, the brick red tile flooring, the shuttered and stained-glass windows, the heavy wooden counter and the hobnail lamps dangling from the beamed and paneled ceiling are faintly reminiscent of an old-fashioned general store.
Items available at the shop include books, pamphlets and
museum publications on plant, animal, rock and mineral studies, and rock and fossil specimens.
it offers handicraft and folk art collected around the world, with emphasis on crafts from North and South America, and original works and reproductions of such items as Indian jewelry, ceramics, shoulder bags, wall hangings and hand-carved toys.
Kill the 'Cats,Hawk it to 'em
Money from the shop will go to the expansion of the public education and public service program of the museum.
The museum also plans to expand and modernize facilities already available there.
Shop hours will be 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sundays.
