| The
Evansville Museum of Science and Industry |
One of my favorite local organizations, made even
more so by my friendship with the Executive Director, John W.
Streetman III. This remarkable institution has made quantum leaps
over the last 20 years here in the community under Mr. Streetman's
leadership. Increasingly, "name" artists are beginning
to show up for master classes, exhibits, and the likes. The permanent
collection is stunning, given the relatively modest size of our
greater metropolitan community. One artist and his wife who I
talked to said that they were taken aback the first time they
walked in by the depth of the collections.
The Transportation Center and the Science Center are great places
for the kids to be educated, and entertained, as well! There is
also a "virtual museum" that the internet visitor can
"surf on through."
