World War I Museum

 I recently found myself in Kansas City with some available time. So I toured the World War I Museum.

The observation deck on the tower is available for an extra fee. Luckily, an elevator takes you up most of the way, leaving only 47 steps to the deck. This is the view. The weather was a bit blustery so I didn't stay long.

I also paid the extra fee for the audio tour. While the exhibits were well presented, the audio did add some additional information to help put it all in context.

They have quite a number of artillery pieces.

Since WW I was a trench war, they have several trench mockups, from the idealized version to a destroyed one like this.

Tanks were introduced during the war. An early example.

All in all a well put together museum. Highly recommended.
