Opening



Tonight is the opening reception for our new exhibit about swords and guns. We have everything from pre-Islamic Arabian swords to a Star Trek Bat’leth (You know me, the Trekkie, it’s actually a replica of the Klingon Sword of Kahless). In the gun department, we have a Chinese wall gun which is over six feet long, and took two men, one in front and one at the trigger, to hold and fire it. We also have Persian rifles, a gun owned by Abraham Lincoln, and dozens of pistols. We have a massive arsenal in our gallery right now. The cadets will love this exhibit. Some of these weapons are really beautiful pieces of art.

    Sounds interesting...I always love those exhibits where they show the progression...One of the last ones I saw was in Washington DC-Smithsonian-where they conveyed the history of food/shopping...Did you know at one time frozen foods were only for the rich because they were so expensive for the everyday folks... I hope the exhibit is well attended...Stay warm...And off the ice...
