SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND

For a museum that's been around nearly 75 years, we've had plenty of time to organize and catalog all of our holdings, yet some items remain a mystery. We began a new activity today over on our Facebook page. Every week we will feature an item from our storage and ask YOU, "What is it?"

We began today with these strange items in a random cigar box. All we knew is that they arrived in 1975 and they went with some antique toy.





From the moment we put the question out there, speculation ran wild. But it was our friends Greg and Demko from The Edge that pulled through with the real answer. See HERE for what they found.

THE ART OF WORKING

Today, in honor of the upcoming Labor Day weekend, we asked people to tell us about their work space and what kind of art they surround themselves with in their office or at their desk. We got a ton of great responses and several wonderful images.

Here is an example...















"My son, Dexter, painted this gem at the Philbrook during one of our "2nd Saturday" visits.

(We LOVE 2nd Saturday, by the way)"
