Oops! I Forgot .....

The museum and gift shop I just wrote about is the place with the amazing gifts on the main floor but the entire building has fodder for fun.

Upstairs is the History Center and I recently saw two amazing exhibits. On the third floor, is the art gallery that hosts phenomenal openings and wondrous works of art.

Check it alllllllllllllllll out.
