I'm very impressed by this history museum discussing the history and tactics used at the turn of the century.

This museum houses the most comprehensive collection of WW1 artifacts on the planet. It's the leading institution dedicated to remembering this terrible time. Dedicated in 1921 just a few years after the Great War, this museum does a great job of showing the difficulties and horrors of this conflict.

Despite its age, the museum has been and continues to be updated with interactive technologies and state of the art facilities to tell its tale. The Main Gallery holds the permanent exhibition, and walks you through the series of events that led the world towards cataclysmic disaster. It then takes you through the decision of the United States to enter the war and our participation in the events. There are plenty of interactive and hands on displays. there are audio guides that give additional insights to various periods of the times and people.

One of the more notable temporary exhibitions during my visit was The Little War which explores the lives of children during the war. War touches everybody differently, and its affects result in the direction of the future.

The museum has a cafe and a store. It allows photography, and there's plenty to note. Its grounds are beautifully maintained, inside and outside.

Above the museum is the memorial itself, which includes the Liberty Tower, the Memorial Courtyard (which overlooks the KC skyline), and the Exhibit and Memory Halls.

Again this museum is beautiful, and despite the sad topic, the museum does a great job of interpreting and remembering the Great War for the goods, the bads, and the ugly.

The museum commands respect, and I ask future visitors to remember to be humbled by the past, and enjoy the site.
