Young Friends of the Museum, Day 5

The young people put on a play that portrayed the Battle of Cut Knife Creek.
Parents were invited to see it at the end of the day.

This day concluded a great week with a super bunch of children. Their parents should be proud of these young people - Our young friends of the museum. They are welcome back any day!

Hopefully they are inspired to learn more about the history of the area.

Thanks to Marcy, Walter, Orval, Noreen, Nicole R., Nicole D., Amber, and Kylie for helping to make it a success.

Quotable Quotes

"... museums blur the line between education and entertainment."
~ Kevin Walker, Story Structures: Building Narrative Trails in Museums.

"There are some people who don't like museums because they think of them as tombs, or something negative. I've always loved them, they are to me lighthouses of utopianism and social well-being."

~ R. B. Kitaj (artist, b 1932)

"Science and Technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response. Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconscious with habits, values, expectations, dreams. The dialectic between past and future will continue to form our lives."
~ Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. 1986. "The Challenge of Change," in New York Times Magazine. July 27.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landcapes, but in having new eyes."
~ Marcel Proust
