Nice little Museum
« on: February 07, 2014, 10:15:25 PM »
I work in remote parts of Australia at times, I find in small towns there is almost always a museum. I also find these are run by a small band of volunteers and are usually without any cash to improve the museum at all.
These people set up a museum and in come the donations, nothing gets restored, it's just stored.

Anyway when I'm away I work 12 hour shifts 6 day weeks, so on my one day off I go looking for these places. You may like the photos I took of the last one I visited.

I love the photo of the blacksmith area.

Thanks for sharing :)
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

thanks for all the pictures, I could spend a few hours looking at all the unmolested artifacts.

I really enjoyed your pictures.

Thank you!  Yes, little local museums are great, and often better than the fancy curated ones.
