"There are people who are unable to do the things that in your life you take for granted," is the message handwritten with brush and ink and posted to this outdoor display case. Many temples have similar cases, but not all; impressionistically 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 seem to produce these brief reflections for passers-by to ponder. This particular temple is not overly large or old. The dedication remarks carved into the stone plaque giving the temple name tell of spring 1945 when it was opened at the final months of WW II.

Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge Exhibit -- May/June 2006. None of the animals were killed for display - they died due to accidents.
On the floor beneath the primary exhibit, the Western New Mexico University Museum has put a large part of the their collection of American Indian pottery and artifacts on display. Pottery is mostly Mimbres, but Casa Grande and Pueblo are also represented. The pieces are mostly there for students to study. Most of them are untagged and not catalogued.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, Mike and I booked a weekend getaway to Fredericksburg. On our first morning in town, we paid a visit to the Pioneer Museum (325 W. Main St). The museum complex features 10 historic buildings, including the Kammlah House. The home's architecture is an exceptional example of the stone and half-timber fachwerk construction used by German immigrants. Here, you can see a view of the house's front room, which operated as a store for over 50 years and was furnished accordingly.
A few details on the house according to the brochure we received onsite and some additional details found online:
Kammlah Homestead
In its original location on Main Street, the Kammlah Homestead includes the house, smokehouse, and barn. The Kammlahs were among the early Germans to settle in Fredericksburg. Four generations lived in the house. Henry Kammlah began building the structure in 1847 and opened the front room as a store in 1870. It was in operation until 1923. The Kammlah Homestead became the nucleus of the Pioneer Museum when the Gillespie County Historical Society purchased it in 1955.
(The house has since undergone renovations; you can find more details in this Fredericksburg Standard article.)

#Football is here pretty soon! A Northern Alberta client brought us an #AaronRodgers memorabilia collection. A custom #DisplayCase was made. The #SuperBowl trophy protrudes from the frame as finished!
This is how you know you're looking at contemporary art too much. For about 2 seconds, I seriously thought this was a contemporary art piece mixed in with the Central American ancient artifacts at the Met. "Wow! The met is very progressive these days.... wait..."
It reads "This case is in process of installation"
