My tour of my local museum

[Paleogene Pals]

I got a behind-the-scenes tour of my natural history museum's collections yesterday. They want me to volunteer to help catalogue their fossil, rock, and mineral collections. Eventually, I might get on the museum Board and help design exhibits. Maybe sometime  over the next few years, I will be able to say my paleo art is now being displayed at a major natural history museum in South Dakota.

I didn't take any pictures. But, I'm sure the opportunity will arise from time to time.

Very lucky! Congratulations!

That must be very exciting! Congratulations on having such a great opportunity.

This is a very underfunded museum. They rely heavily on volunteer work. They have a vision of doing the paleontology of South Dakota starting with the Paleozoic and ending in the late Cenozoic. But, they just don't have the people power or money to do it. I would like to build an exhibit on the Western Interior Seaway since we are basically sitting on it. A lot of it is going to have to come out of my pocket. But, I can put my models to good use.
